How can I support an ORIGIN command in IMSpost?

CATEGORY: PROGRAMMING
TYPE: MACRO
IMS VERSION: ALL
PLATFORM: ALL

Use the SYSTEM.LOCAL macro variable.
In the default projects, this variable exists in the ORIGIN macro, but is commented out so it is not active.
The value of SYSTEM.LOCAL[1..3] will be mathematically added to each output position.
You must negate the value if you wish the origin value to be subtracted from each output position.
See the description of SYSTEM.LOCAL and IMSpost coordinate systems in this guide.
