PML Macros

Macros are command sequences that are stored in text files.

To access a macro file and input the command sequence to your program, you run the macro. The file is scanned line-by-line, with exactly the same effect as if you were typing the lines in from a keyboard.

Macro files may include synonyms and User-defined variables. They may also act on data which you define when you give the command to run the macro (parameterized macros). Macros are permanent records which may be called from within any working session of a program.
