Macro> Command returns only first variable

tony_smith · Post by **tony_smith** » Thu Dec 02, 2004 11:14 pm

This command used to work (I now have MSched Pro 7.3.03);

Macro>U:\macros\EXTRACT.scp /spltfl2X=%spltfl2% /fnm=%fspec% /LOGFILE=U:\macros\Log\extract.log

Now the command carries only the first variable declared in the command line to the called macro.

I have double-checked the variables and followed them through the debug and when the other script is called, I displayed then using MessageModal. If I change the order of the variables on the command line, only the first one makes it to the called macro.

This is the only MS script I have that uses Macro> with more than one variable, so I have no others to compare it to.

Am I doing something wrong?

No. But you did fail to see this same topic was discussed only yesterday and is only about two rows down from your post:

No, I did not fail to see the other post, however; there I could not find a distinct equivalence in the convoluted dialogue, nor was there a mention that there was an iminent "fix" that I could distinguish. Thanks anyway for your constructive remark.

No problems. The last page of that convoluted dialogue reported that a bug was found and also indicated that a fix would be imminent. Needles and haystacks I guess.

Thanks for the patch.

I have applied the upgrade 7.3.04, but I am still unable to transfer all the variables to the called macro...

I declare the variables in the calling macro...

Let>spltfl2=U:\Reports\Temp\splitrej2.txt

and

Let>spltfl=U:\Reports\Temp\splitrej.txt
Let>x=x+1
ReadLn>spltfl,x,fspec

And can read them with MessageModal> before executing the line...

Macro>U:\macros\EXTRACT.scp /spltfl2X=%spltfl2% /fnm=%fspec% /LOGFILE=U:\macros\Log\extract.log

As soon as the called script "EXTRACT" executes, I read the variables "spltfl2X" and "fnm" with MessageModal> and get "%spltfl2%" ""fspec%" respectively.

The variable "LOGFILE" transfers correctly even if I change its position in the line.

I looked through the discussion initiated by rh2001, but was not able to resolve my issue from the information.

Tony,

Log into the download area - same place you downloaded 7.3.04 and download ms73041.zip and extract the exe into your msched directory (close Macro Scheduler first) and let me know if this fixes the problem.

Marcus
