wish in your program. Up to 9 parameters
can be passed to a specified multi-line
library routine.

Salamanca Software’s Expressbase II was a macro language and pre-processor for the dBaseII database. Expressbase II allowed the user to either use a prebuilt library of macro codes (or procedures parlance), or to create their own reusable procedures, and then write Expressbase II scripts with these shorts codes. Expressbase II would then expand these shorts codes into a full dBaseII script via Expressbase’s pre-processor utility. This allowed greater code reuse.
