2) this is part of the MCL for #PROGB string variable that I'm
trying to pass to the above template file...
AUTO_ANSWER[AA="OK"]
STRING: #PROGB
STRING: #B
#PROGB = STRSUB(#S1, 1, 6)
#B = B
SAVE[FN=STRTMP("%PATH%PROGB%B"), FT=3, GS=0, WP="XY_PLANE"]
CODE[FN=STRTMP("%PATH%PROGB%B%END"), MS1="W:\\SM4\\SMF\\HS.SMF",
MT1="W:\\SM4\\SMF\\HS.TMP",SH=1, DC=1, ST=1, DT=1, SP=9]
AUTO_ANSWER[AA="OFF"]
3) this is what I get when I code using step 1 template file

After running the MCL file, I checked my variables and they are as
follows...
PROGB = HS9999 = STRING
S1 = HS9999A REV.AA TEST = STRING
My question is how come I cannot get PROGB to code HS9999 in
the template file?
