Parameters in macros

Macros can accept optional parameters. To specify an optional parameter in a macro, place a percent (

%

) sign followed by a parameter number after the command that will use the parameter. To indicate a percent in a macro, you need to insert two percent signs

(%%

) because a single percent indicates a parameter.

The single quotation mark (

'

) is a special character in

FactoryTalk View

and cannot be used in nested macros. Instead, use the double quotation mark (").

If a macro name has spaces in it, enclose the name in double quotes, for example,

"New Macro"

parameter.

Type macro parameters after the macro name.
