ProppFrexx ONAIR User-Forum

Bernd,

Any idea why he's not taking this one?

Because the syntax is completely wrong.
Don’t know what you want to achieve, but the pure macro is just used like this: ${cartid}

Take a look to the Appendix of the User Manual for all available macros and its use.

The ${VAR:name} macro is used for user defined variables.

i wanna use a variable in a variable. I made a variable using exec_variable_set. No i wanna call that variable with another variable. so ${Var:${cartid}}. which would mean for me get variable with the name of the cartid number. I hope i explain this well.

That doesn’t make sense. And you need to be exact with the syntax and exact command names...
If you want to set a user variable with the value of a macro you can use:
EXEC_VAR_SET myvar|${cartid}

If you then want to retrieve that user variable value back, you use:
${VAR:myvar}

A variable in a variable doesn’t exist; nor does the ProppFrexx syntax support pointers or alike. But that is also not even needed.
