Question about Macro_Result

Post by evangelmike » Fri Jul 02, 2010 6:26 am

Greetings:

In the Online Help it says:
"Data can be returned to the calling macro by setting the MACRO_RESULT variable in the called script. After the script has been run MACRO_RESULT is available to the calling script."

Suppose one wants the called macro to return 6 results? Can this be done?
I would like to return 4 text values and 2 numeric values to the calling script.
May you have a blessed day!

You could return the data in a delimited string:

Let>MACRO_RESULT=str1|str2|str3|str5|999|888

Then just split them out in your calling macro afterwards using the Separate function.

Use whatever format you like/is appropriate.
