Michael,

First of all make sure that the element names do exist.

I think your macro fails when you use the string template function,
STRTMP(), within a snap function, CEX(), CEY(), etc...

// Concatenate the string and assign it to a string variable first.

STRING:#ElName
#ElName=STRTMP("E%Next")


// Then use the string variable in the snap functions.

SPLIT[EL="SEQEL()", XS=CEX(#ElName), YS=CEY(#ElName),
LC=0, GW=0.0, LN=.5, DS=.05, FR=1]

I'm trying to use named elements ( E1,E3,E5 etc ) in a While/Endw loop.

This is the split command inside the loop that I recorded...

SPLIT[EL="SEQEL()", XS=CEX(E2),  YS=CEY(E2),   LC=0, GW=0.0, LN=.5, DS=.05,
FR=1]

and what I'm trying to do is take the E and concatinate (haven't got a clue
how to spell that word)
to the INTEGER:#Next which is 1,3,5,7 etc like so...

SPLIT[EL="SEQEL()", XS=CEX(STRTMP("E%Next")), YS=CEY(STRTMP("E%Next")),
LC=0, GW=0.0, LN=.5, DS=.05, FR=1]

but all I get is error 2753: unknown identifier in expression

Why?
