XLSTT, YLSTT Variables

XLSTT, YLSTT Variables

Track the last values specified for the X and Y variables when X and Y are used with text-handling functions.

The coordinate values stored in the (XLSTT, YLSTT) variables are automatically updated by the LABEL and SYMBOL text functions. These values are then available for use by other text functions that follow in the DATA step.

Because (XLSTT, YLSTT) are updated internally, you cannot specify values for them. However, their values can be manipulated by these programming functions:

CNTL2TXT PUSH

DRAW2TXT SWAP

POP TXT2CNTL
