| Synchronet sysop-posted messages, text and menu files, and some lines in the ''[[dir:ctrl]]/[[text.dat]]'' file may contain special //Message Variables//, also called //@-codes// ("at codes", some BBS authors and sysops refer to these types of codes as "@ Macros" or "@ Variables" or "MCI codes"((and not because of the defunct phone company))). @-codes may also be displayed using the ''bbs.atcode()'' [[JavaScript]] method. | Synchronet sysop-posted messages, text and menu files, and some lines in the ''[[dir:ctrl]]/[[text.dat]]'' file may contain special //Message Variables//, also called //@-codes// ("at codes", some BBS authors and sysops refer to these types of codes as "@ Macros" or "@ Variables" or "MCI codes"((and not because of the defunct phone company))). @-codes may also be displayed using the ''bbs.atcode()'' [[JavaScript]] method. |

| @-codes are called such because they begin and end with the ''@'' (ASCII 64) ("at") character. The code names themselves (sandwiched between the @'s) must be entered using only ''UPPERCASE'' letters. Some additional symbols and numbers may also be included in the @-code, but never a space. | @-codes are called such because they begin and end with the ''@'' (ASCII 64) ("at") character.

Although this compatibility with these other BBS packages is less of a concern these days, the unusual code names remain. | Some of the @-codes supported in Synchronet have unusual names or aliases specifically for //PCBoard// and/or //Wildcat!// BBS Software compatibility.
