If you look at Charles'  example (following his sig), you'll see that this 
is what it does. Essentially in your example, where you #declare name = sp; 
you can simply specify   sp (no quotes, brackets, semicolon etc.). 
Alternatively you can just remove the '#local sp =' from in front of the 
spline definition and the spline will be returned by the macro.

dimension_size(arr,1)
