Percent symbol before and after a variable

[wsigler]

I have not been able to find an explanation of why there is a standard of entering the “%” before and after a variable and what effect it has on the macro if it is not used.

 

Can anyone take a stab?

This is just the MEP standard. IMHO you should use it everywhere but there are a few dialog boxes that allow them not to be used.

Thanks Cory!

I have no problem in using it.

I was just wondering if it had some effect on how MEP interpreted the variable like the “&” in some other languages.

Thanks again!!
