In some cases, substitution symbols are not recognizable to the assembler. The forced substitution operator, which is a set of colons surrounding the symbol, enables you to force the substitution of a symbol's character string. Simply enclose a symbol with colons to force the substitution. Do not include any spaces between the colons and the symbol. The syntax for the forced substitution operator is:
| :symbol: |
The assembler expands substitution symbols surrounded by colons before expanding other substitution symbols.
You can use the forced substitution operator only inside macros, and you cannot nest a forced substitution operator within another forced substitution operator.
Using the Forced Substitution Operator shows how the forced substitution operator is used.
