Issue

Is it possible to run a macro within a macro in PASSPORT?

Solution

You cannot run a macro within a macro per se. However, Rocket Software offers the ability to launch a macro from within a Visual Basic application or VBScript using the PASSPORT Object Interface, which can provide similar functionality. Only 1 macro can be run at any given time from a specific host session.  

 

Rocket Software has worked with a number of clients regarding the automated launching of macros, doing everything from creating an HTML page that contains a panel of buttons that automatically launch specific macros to building Intranet applications that launch macros from drop-down menus.

 

If you seek more information on this topic, we would advise hosting further discussions with your developers. The meeting could be held on-site or by conference call. Please let us know if you need this resource.
