i was running a macro:

sub main
  /doevents
  /if somthing==somthingesle {
    /macro mymacro.mac
/return

i tried runnning something really close to this. it does not run new macro it restart current macro.
am i wrong in thing this should start new macro

I think:

Code: Select all

#Include mymacro.mac
sub main
 :begining
  /doevents
  /if somthing==somthingesle {
    /call mymacro
  }
 /goto :begining
/return

Salutations,
at this time you CANNOT call another macro from inside a macro in MQ. It is suggested that if all none of the function names match, that you include the macro (like above) and change the 'sub main' line in that macro to be 'sub macroname' then, inside your macro do /call macroname. I hope this helps...

Sub's in routine are good...condense your coding like a pro!

i relented and added the code as a sub. but this macro is getting out of hand. its got around 600 lines. and commenting and logging. although i am a nood coder and it looks like crap, but it does work. i just wanted to handle a situation that would benifit from calling another macro and deviding the job into distinct parts. this thing is getting to be too big.
