Sample 37399: Creating macro variables in Graph Template Language (GTL) using the MVAR statement
This sample illustrates how to use the MVAR statement to define macro variables with the Graph Template Language (GTL). In this sample, the footnote text comes from the value of the macro variable DateTag. DateTag is named in the MVAR (macro variable) statement. The X-axis label is also replaced with the macro variable Xlabel.
When the MVAR statement is used, the template is compiled and the value of the macro variable is substituted when the template is used by the procedure.
This approach lets you modify and compile the template once and then use it repeatedly with different values of the macro variable without having to recompile the template.
