Reusing subroutines across macros

[aqua267]

I have Macro A that has few subroutines that I would like to reuse in other scripts. For example, Macro A has a subroutine CallSearch. I would like to be able to call the same subroutine from a different macro. The difference is the search keyword I pass.
I tried Include, Macro commands, however they go to the called script and start executing them. I only want them to execute when I explicitly call the subroutine from the calling macro.
How do I do this?

Thanks!

Use the Include command. See:

I use this same idea quite a bit. Use a passed parameter to identify the subroutine that is to be called in the first lines of the macro.

Code: Select all

In the main script
Let>MACRO_1=%SCRIPT_DIR%\Macro_1.scp

Macro>MACRO_1 /SubToRun=%SubRoutine_1% /DATA1=%Some_data% /DATA2=%more_data% 

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
In MACRO_1

//Call Subroutine passed in from calling script
GoSub>SubToRun,DATA1,DATA2

SRT>Sub1
End>Sub1

SRT>SubToRun
...
End>SubToRun
etc.

You can use MACRO_RESULT to return any values the same way as with a typical macro call.
