command fails if you do not provide the values for the parameters. You can
use the macro apply macro-name with a '?' to display the help string for the
macro keywords (if you have defined these with the #macro keywords
preprocessor command).

the parameter are replaced with the provided value. Any full match of a
keyword, even if it is part of a large string, is considered a match and replaced
by the corresponding value.
