Graham,
The #define directive allows one to write in short-hand rather than writing long code. The compiler substiututes the short-hand into its full form before executing it.
As an example, say if one is writing the following again and again and again in the program ==>
WriteIf ( LastValue(security) > LastValue(security45ema), "Price is above it 45 ema","Price is not above 45 ema");
Then one can just define the short-hand
#define WRITE45_EMA WriteIf ( LastValue(security) > LastValue(security45ema), "Price is above it 45 ema","Price is not above 45 ema");
And the within the program then one needs to write just WRITE45_EMA which will mean writing whole of 'WriteIf ( LastValue(security) > LastValue(security45ema), "Price is above it 45 ema","Price is not above 45 ema");' !
This comes in very handy when one has very large code. It cuts down typing a lot. Languages like C, C++ support #define. Since AFL already supports #include, which is similar to C, C++, I am wondering if there is plan to add #define for AFL also ...

Tomasz,
There is #include in AFL, but AFAIK there is no #define in AFL.
Are there any plans to add #define as well ? With ever increasing length of AFL scripts, I'm sure that #define will cut-down lot of typing while writing AFL scripts.
Friends,
Are there any work-arounds for #define in AFL ?
