Does anyone know how  I can  perform  many integrations over the same
limits, without having to type in the limits again and again. I tried to
substitute the limits for a text string s, but as can be seen below, it
doesn't  work.
In[1]:= Integrate[ x y,{x,0,a},{y,0,b}]
         2  2
        a  b
Out[1]= -----
          4
In[2]:= s = "{x,0,a},{y,0,b}"
Out[2]= {x,0,a},{y,0,b}
In[3]:= Integrate[x y,s]
Integrate::ilim: 
   Integration limit {x,0,a},{y,0,b} is not of the form {x,xmin,xmax}.
Out[3]= Integrate[x y, {x,0,a},{y,0,b}]
Any ideas????
