= SUMMARY =

Macro variable names can be any combination of 64 letters or numbers; however, they cannot start with a number. For example, “2date” is not a valid variable name, but “date2” is valid.

No punctuation marks (that is, underscores, hyphens, and periods) are allowed in variable names. You can have up to 256 different variables in a macro, including variables used in nested macros.
