It used to be sort of extensively used in the earlier days for things like passing values from one form to another before actions like open window with modes like display, search were not available.
With a lot more available actions, the scope of Run Macro has become a little more limted in post ARS 5 versions. It still is however useful in some situations for replicating sequential keystrokes as a single action. Like Sandeep pointed out however, this action is not available on the web so if defined in your worklfow, your workflow 'will work' without throwing an error or an exception, but you will notice that the web client failed to perfom it. It will just attempt to perfom the next action in queue by skipping the macro action. If your next action is dependent on the results of your macro action, your workflow will fail..

(The Run Macro active link action is not available for the web client.) The macro can perform any operation or series of operations. If the macro contains parameters, you can specify values for those parameters, including a value from a field in the current request. -- Sandeep Pandey Remedy Developer | ITIL Practisioner On 10/11/09, kiran <[email protected]> wrote: ** >Hi listers, > >i would like to know the function of Run macro in an AL? > >regards, >Kiran _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor:[email protected] ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"
