Macro Code ('')
The computer maintains this field automatically, so you need not enter anything here.

Macro Description ('')
Enter a description of the macro.

Macro Name ('')
Enter the letter(s) or number(s) which will be used to activate your macro. Often only one character is used in order to save time when starting the macro.

Note: Some planning needs to be done when Macro Names are selected. When you try to activate a macro with a name of 2 or more characters and there is another macro (of the same Type) with a shorter name that is identical to the beginning character(s) of the longer macro, the shorter macro will be activated instead of the longer one. For example, if F and F1 are the names of same Type macros, only F will work, or if R12 and R1 are the names of same Type macros, only R1 will work.

See "Setting up Macros" and "Macro Types" in your manual for further help.

Or you may press S to see "Setting up Macros" or press T to see "Macro Types" on your screen.

Screen ('')
Enter the Screen where the Macro is used. If this is a Global or User Macro, or in other words a Macro that can be used in various screens, let this field blank.

User ('')
Enter the User number if this is a User Macro. A User Macro is a macro which is setup to be used on only on one terminal in the computer system.

The User Number is displayed in the bottom left corner of the screen.
