Problem

Symptoms: When you use the {NTOK} macro command and an appropriate value for an advanced macro command, several of the commands do not work. For example, {NTOK}64513~ is equal to {ASSIGN}. If you use the {NTOK} command rather than the {ASSIGN} command, the macro will function correctly. However, the {NTOK} value for {FOR}(64530), {FOR EACH}(64531), {LABEL}(64534), {STATE}(64553), {SYSTEM}(64565), {VARIABLE}(64564), {MID}(64566) and {LEN}(64569) do not seem to function correctly. When you run a macro with these commands, it terminates at that command. The following macro will duplicate the problem: {NTOK}64522~1~Enter a character: ~ ({CHAR}) {NTOK}64564~1~ ({VARIABLE}1~) With this macro, the {CHAR} message will come up on the screen, but the variable will not be typed on the screen afterwards. If you press Alt-1, the value is typed on the screen, so the value is being assigned, but the command {VARIABLE}1~ will not return that value.
