Not sure this helps you, but my preferred way of doing it is this:

#macro MakeFive (VARIABLE)       // macro to make a variable = 5;
  #local VARIABLE = 5;           // set var referenced by VARIABLE = to 5
#end                             // end #macro MakeFive (VARIABLE)

#local Value = 0;                // name variable
MakeFive (Value);                // assign value to named variable

This uses a few more lines, but allows for a lot more freedom. Of course
this won't work inside of a conditional statement, but there are other
advantages, like being able to assign an entire array to a variable.
