  • Introduction:
    • We've already seen several examples of using PLOT and LIST2. Now we will see some of the more advanced things that can be done with them in a macro.
    • Some key points covered on earlier slides:
      • When run in a macro PLOT and LIST2 are usually run in a pipe section.
      • In order to get messages from PLOT or LIST2 sent to a macro you need to use the /MSGID=MAIN switch.
      • You will also want to use the /ID= switch to provide all instances of PLOT and LIST2 with easy-to-identify names.
