Macro Menu
Select Macro from the menu bar to access the macro and automation functionality.
Simple macros are saved while recording a macro or using the Session Macro dialog. A Simple Macro only contains the recorded commands from the GUI. A simple macro becomes a Parameter Macro once variables are defined in it. The macro block listing the variables (Variables = { }) is already written when a simple macro is recorded, but it is initially empty of variables. Besides defining or editing these variables, you also program the commands for their use.
The Macro menu in the menu bar gives access to the following functionality:
