Macros

Macros can be used with commands and job schedules on QDS.

Macros can be accessed or defined using the Javascript language. Only assignment statements are valid. Loops, function definitions, and all other language constructs are not supported. Assignment statements can use all operators and functions defined for the objects used in the statements. Defined macros can be used in subsequent statements.
