Finding max material number 1

[ScottMf]

I am writing several macros that I can use on multiple different models and would like to determine the maximum real number, element type number, and material number, I am using *get,param,ETYP,,NUM,MAX to get the max et#, *GET,param,RCON,,NUM,MAX to get the max real#, but have found no equivalent command to find the max material number that is defined. Is there an easy way to find this?

Thanks,
Scott

matmax = mpinqr(0,14,0) ! returns max. material no. defined
matnum = mpinqr(0,12,0) ! returns no. defined materials
