Oops, I had a typo in my last. This first call will be -1, the
second -2 and so on.

Nesting is most noticeable when you call an EEP/CFA/.RMD
etc... recursively. The first call will be -2, the second -2 and
so on. This way, when you are tracing your code, you can see
which recursion level you are looking at.

I have never found a use for the variable nesting level in 25+ years of RBASE programming.
Since I clear all % variables immediately after assigning them to other variables, I never have to worry about it.
How does one know at what nesting level their file will be called? It can vary depending on the other code.
There is just too much opportunity for error trying to play the variable nesting level game.
Of course, there is always the exception to any rule, but I have never encountered it, and have studiously avoided it.

That explains it.
I never came across any doc on the nesting level.
Thank You!

the %1-x is the nesting level, so if your called rmd file called
another, the variable would be %1-2.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Passed Parameter Reference Name
I am using 9.1 (build 9.1.5.20317).
I recently found a use for passing parameters to an .RMD command file using
the RUN command.
RUN ppsedit.rmd USING .vdate
The documentation for the Run Command says: "To reference the contents of
these variables, preface the variable name with a dot (.); for example, set
v1 =.%1."
This was not working for me.
So I traced the called .RMD file and displayed the passed parameter as a
watch variable.
It showed up as %1-1 not %1 as I had expected.
When I changed my references to the passed variable to %1-1 it worked.
Am I missing something or is the documentation wrong?
