Macro execution

[gurucharanscm]

Hi Experts, I would like to know how a macro does get executed when written with multiple steps. Suppose I have 10 steps in it, does that mean that the macro starts executing step by step sequentially? Basically, what I would like to know is that: Can I use an auxilary key-figure value in, say, step 3, while the value for this key-figure gets calculated in say, step 7?

Please help me understand. Thanks.

Hello Guru,

If you use and Auxiliary figure in Step 3 and vlues for which is calculated in Step 7 then your KF will hold zero values .

As rightly mentioned by other experts macros follow sequential flow.

Hello, macro steps are always executed as the defined sequence, unless you use condition statement like IF, WHILE, SWITCH, etc. Auxiliary key figures can be used wherever you want, no need to define. If you use an auxiliary key figure in step 3, but you fill the value of the auxiliary key figure in step 7 , then in step 3, the key figure has no value. Layout variables must be defined before you get the value of it.

Dear Guru

Macro steps are executed sequentially only in the order they are written .
