ID Expressions

The above commands are all examples of an identification (ID) expression. The one exception is the ‘GOTO’ syntax. This keyword is omitted within an ID expression. ID expressions should be enclosed in brackets, although in most cases, they will work without the brackets. An ID expression may itself be queried or assigned to a Programmable Macro Language (PML) variable.

Querying an expression or assigning it to a PML variable dos NOT change the CE.

Q ( NEXT BOX)

!MyEle = ( next box )

!MyEle = ( next box of /VESS1 )

!MyEle = (SPRE )

Assigning an ID expression to a PML variable is a common way to write PML.
