To retrieve the current status without changing it, make a copy of the returned status and call it a second time. For example:
map1 cmdcode,b,1
map1 cmdcode2,b,1
xcall MIAMEX, MX_CMD_STATUS, cmdcode ! retrieve current status, set new status to 0
cmdcode2 = cmdcode ! copy of original status
xcall MIAMEX, MX_CMD_STATUS, cmdcode2 ! reset the original status
? "Current status is "; cmdcode
