Ohai,
this

Code:

foo equ bar
a_#foo#_b = '#'
display a_bar_b

fails with

Quote:

Error: symbol 'a_bar_b' is undefined or out of scope.

Is there a way to get it compile,except for

Code:

foo equ bar
match any, foo
  a_#any#_b = '#'
end match
display a_bar_b

The symbolic variable would only be substituted if the entire identifier (a_foo_b in this case) matched the variable name. Parameter variables, however, get replaced first, and match is the simplest way to create one. Another way which would work is:

Code:

foo equ bar
a_bar_b = '#'
match symbol, foo
    a_foo_b equ a_#symbol#_b
end match
display a_foo_b
