General ⇒ Newbie question on using arguments to \newcommand

[sierra1bravo]

Dear all
I'd like to use arguments passed in into \newcommand as arguments to \put. The following, however, doesn't compile. What would be the right way to do this?

Code: Select all

\newcommand{\myticket}[4]{
  \ticket{%
    \put(7,38){\makebox[0mm]{\bfseries\Large #1}}
    \put{#2,#3}{#4}
  }
}

Then I try to call it with

Code: Select all

\myticket{00001}{25}{25}{11}

But doesn't work.

TIA

Sorry, trivial error--I used braces instead of parens...it works with parens.
