MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

You cannot display the contents of a macro variable within the message produced by the MESSAGE instruction. For example, the following two macro instructions

<> <> >>

result in the message

The value Number equals <<Number

rather than the following message:

The value Number equals 2

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 4.00. This problem was corrected beginning with Word version 5.00.
