Using arrays in macros

5 Feb 2001

      I want to use an element of a multi-dimensional array as a parameter to 
a macro, e.g.:

------------------------------------------------
program test(output);

{$define THING(a,b) writeln(a*b)}

var 
	num : array [0..1,0..1] of integer = ((1,2), (3,4));
begin
	THING(num[1,1], 6)
end.
------------------------------------------------

But this gives me an error:
test.pas:8: macro `THING' used with too many (3) args

Presumably it's taking the first comma as an argument delimiter.

Can I get around this?
