Macros

Export macros programmatically; print information about available macros.

Background Information

A macro defines a substitution in a line of ObjectScript code. For details, see “ObjectScript Macros and the Macro Preprocessor” in Using Caché ObjectScript. You create macros in Studio; see Using Studio.

Available Tools

%SYSTEM.OBJ class

Includes the following class methods that you can use with macros:

Export()
ExportToStream()
ShowMacros()

Availability: All namespaces.

Reminder

The special variable $SYSTEM is bound to the %SYSTEM package. This means that (for ObjectScript) instead of ##class(%SYSTEM.class).method(), you can use $SYSTEM.class.method().
