An Application object macro is a variable with an associated string value, as shown in the examples below.
Macro Name | String Value |
---|---|
SOURCE_PATH | \\server1\sys\public\zen\word |
TARGET_PATH | c:\program files\word |
When Novell® Application LauncherTM/Explorer encounters an Application object property in which a macro name has been used, it substitutes the string value for the macro name.
To use an Application object macro, you must first define it on the Application object's Macro page (Common tab). The macro is valid only for the Application object in which it is defined. When using the macro in one of the Application object's property fields, you must enclose it in % characters (%SOURCE_PATH%).
