Target macro file name and starting screen

Use the Macro Name field to specify the name of the target macro. If you are chaining macros in a Server Library, you must specify the name of the macro file rather than the name of the macro. Remember that macro names are case-sensitive! For example, mymacro1 is a different name than myMacro, myMACRO, MyMacro, and so on.

You cannot call a macro that resides in a different location than the calling macro. Specifically:
  • A macro in the Current Session can call only macros that are in the Current Session.
  • A macro in the Personal Library can call only macros that are in the Personal Library.
  • A macro in a Server Library can call only macros that are in that Server Library.
  • A macro in a User Library can call only macros that are in the same User Library (same directory).
Use the Start Screen Name listbox to select the macro screen in the target macro that you want the macro runtime to process first:
  • If you want to start the target macro at its usual start screen, then select the *DEFAULT* entry in the Start Screen Name listbox, or provide an expression that evaluates to the value *DEFAULT*.
  • If you want to start the target macro at some other screen, then select the name of that screen in the Start Screen Name listbox.
