passed value produces a calculated result

[BrettHemphill]

So I pass a variable to another macro and my text variable gets calculated in the recieving macro.

Let>CopyRight=2003 - 2006
Macro>G:\Macros\FinalTouchUp.scp /cr2=%CopyRight%

Resulting in cr2 = -3
When I need cr2 = 2003 - 2006

Can anyone help me retain my text value without forcing quotes around the text. That is my current workaround, wich is to pass "2003 - 2006" to cr2 and then strip the quotes from it.

It only gets converted during the hand off! It allways maintains the correct value whithin the initial macro.

Hi,

2003 - 2006 is a mathematic expression, so you want:

Let>CopyRight={"2003 - 2006"}
Macro>d:\test.scp /cr2={"%CopyRight%"}

Or:

Macro>d:\test.scp /cr2={"2003 - 2006"}
