Using Macros

A macro is a set of operations recorded for later execution. A macro can include any operation that the User Tool can perform: querying the database, submitting ARs, modifying ARs, setting user defaults, running macros, running user commands, creating a report, changing schemas, and specifying sorting options. You may want to create macros to automate frequently used or complex query or submit operations.

You can execute a macro by selecting Run Macros from the Macros menu (or typing Ctrl+I) then selecting the macro from the Execute Macros dialog box or by selecting it from the Run Macros drop down list box in the tool bar.

• Recording macros
