RE: [amibroker] #define directive ?

Thanks Salil, but it seems over my head for what seems a simple exercise. I
will leave it to those with a fuller understanding of programming.

Cheers,

Graham,
 
Perhaps you are.  You are considering the example I have quite literally. 
Following link gives more information about the #define.
    http://www-ccs.ucsd.edu/c/preproc.html#Define%20Directives
 
As you'll notice, one can use #define directive in a more flexible manner to
cut down typing.  The 45ema example I gave is just a trivial example.

I may be missing your objective, but can’t you already do that in AFL
Then you just need to call it up. I have called it EmaExp which just needs
to be referenced where you want
 
Example
 
security = C;
security45ema = EMA(C,45);
EmaExp = WriteIf ( LastValue(security) > LastValue(security45ema), "Price is
above it 45 ema","Price is not above 45 ema");
 
Filter=1;
AddTextColumn(EMAexp,"exp");

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 ?
