Current Page: NeXtMidas Training Macros - Part 1 (Basics) Messages in a Macro Sending Messages
- - - | Sending Messages (the `MESSAGE` command): Messages can be sent from a macro using the `MESSAGE` command. Typical usage:
          plot/id=plot1 ...
          ...
          message send ID="PLOT1" NAME="OPENFILE" DATA="world.prm"
  - - See the `MESSAGE` explain file for details. The messages sent or received by a command are listed in the explain file for that command. Example:
          nM> explain plot messages
X-Midas Users Take Note:
Be careful when porting macros from X-Midas to NeXtMidas since the parameters for `MESSAGE` differ slightly. In general it is best to use the `TAG=` in NeXtMidas.
