MACRO_FILE_OPEN

Use this to predefine sequences of commands on a file and then execute them with the MACRO command. This is useful when the same calculation is made often with just small changes. One good case for applying this is when calculating diagrams from an assessment. With a macro file all commands can be stored on a file and you just type MACRO <filename>.

Syntax

Prompt

The macro file can contain any legal DICTRA module commands. The macro must be terminated with EXIT or in the SYS, DICTRA, POLY-3 or POST module with the command SET_INTERACTIVE_MODE.
