Notes

Running Command Prompt commands from a macro provides the ability to:

• Manipulate system files.

• Run programs.

When a running macro encounters an OPSYS command in the lines of code, the macro running is paused until the Command Prompt command or program is complete. At this stage, the macro resumes running by proceeding to the next line of code.
