Hello Jan,
Historians believe that on Tue, 16 Jan 2001 at 20:10:40 GMT -0500,
Jan Rifkinson [JR] typed:
<snip>
JR> so then my macro statement should look like this?
JR> %WRAPPED='On %ODATEEN %QINCLUDE="OTIME", you wrote the following in regards to
%QINCLUDE='"bracket"':'
JR> (all on a single line)
Um, change that last %QInclude to:
''%QINCLUDE="bracket"''
Two things to notice.
1. You need to double the single quotes so TB knows that you're not
trying to end the arguments to %Wrapped. This is the same
reasoning as what Allie mentioned.
2. Put the single quotes around the entire macro %QINCLUDE="bracket"
Ignoring some other syntax problems, the general form
%QINCLUDE='"bracket"' is telling TB that you want to include the
quick template with handle "bracket" (with quotes). That's not
your goal.
Instead %QINCLUDE="bracket" is one statement which generates
some text. You can't break it up and still get the desired result.
So to surround the text in the final message, you have to surround
the full statement (macro) in the template.
Does that help clear things up a bit?
