You can define a macro name to have a value. A macro value is a sequence of characters. A macro value is not a string (or str) in the formal sense of a data type.

You assign a value to a macro by appending the value enclosed in parentheses at the end of a #define directive.

You can use the macro symbol where you want the value to occur in the X++ code. A macro symbol is the name of the macro with the # character added as a prefix.

Prerequisites

For this topic, you must understand the information in How to: Use #define and #if to Test a Macro.

Syntax for Using a Macro Value

The following code sample shows a macro symbol #MyMacro. The symbol is replaced by the value of the macro.

    static void MacroWithIntValueJob(Args _args)
    {
        int iTest = 8;
        ;
        #define.MyMacro(32)
    
        // This next #define, which has no value for the macro name,
        // would not disrupt the value 32 set by the previous #define.
        //#define.MyMacro
    
        // This next #define, which has a different value than 32,
        // would overwrite the value 32 set by the previous #define.
        //#define.MyMacro(444)
    
        iTest = #MyMacro;
        info(int2str(iTest));
    
    /**********  Actual output
    Message (04:33:49 pm)
    32
    **********/
    }
