THE Reference - SET Commands

SET LASTOP - set the contents of the lastop argument
Syntax:: [SET] LASTOP operand text
Description:: The SET LASTOP command sets the valus of the specified operand to the text supplied. This command is most useful when run from a macro, to set the string to be passed to the next invocation of the equivalent operand command; eg LOCATE, FIND, etc.; Because THE does not save the contents of the lastop from a command when run from a macro, sometimes the macro is intended to set this value. This command allows that capability.
Compatibility:: XEDIT: N/A; KEDIT: Compatible.
See Also:: LOCATE, FIND, SEARCH
Status:: Complete.
