New Macro wizard

Enter the fields of this wizard to create a Macro.

Project
Select a project in the list or enter the name of the project where the instance is to be saved.

A project represents the physical distribution of your instances in your workspace. It groups directories and files. It is used to organize resources that can be built, shared, or versioned.

A Rational® Programming Patterns project contains a subset of files that correspond to the design and the generated sources of an application.

Name
The Macro name is required. It can be constituted of letters, digits, or special characters. Using blanks is not recommended.

The names ££USER and ££80EX are reserved for protected technical Macros.

These two Macros constitute the only way to implement, respectively, user services and extraction methods in Business Components. They are used to migrate the Pacbase applications. In this case, they are automatically called with the correct parameters in the -CP Lines of the relevant Business Components. If you want to implement user services or extraction methods, you must call the appropriate Macro in the -CP Lines of a Business Component and specify its parameters. The user services and extraction methods that are implemented in another way are ignored. From Rational Programming Patterns V9.5.1, they constitute inactive code that you can remove. A warning is automatically displayed in the COBOL code. This case also applies to the user services and extraction methods that were called from the function and subfunction wizard in an earlier version of Rational Programming Patterns.

Label
Enter the label that identifies the instance. It will constitute a search criterion upon a subsequent search.
Open editor on finish
Select this check box if you want to open the editor of the instance you are creating. The editor opens on the COBOL Source tab.
