Rather than use L'csAttch, a typical approach is to add an equate such as

I like how (many of? most of?) the newer macros define those equates
for you by appending 'L' to the name you specify in the MF parameter.
I can not see how that can occur. The name in the MF is the name of
the MF=L macro (or a work area where you have copied it). L' is the
assigned length of that symbol. Thus if you are pointing direct to
the MF=L macro, you will get the length of the symbol that is
assigned the name not the length of the expansion. If, on the other
hand, you are point at a work area, which will be whatever you have
assigned as its length (hopefully XL'expansion) where expansion is:
Macro Macro MF=L,...
Expansion equ *-macro
