= SUMMARY =

The SET statement cannot be used in a macro to set the value of the Options “color:” field. For example, the following will set the “color1” variable to a null value:

O < >

Even if the cursor is moved among the different color setting options, the field is always null.

The only way to set the “color1” variable is to use an ASK statement, which prompts you to input a value.
