References attribute 16 of file-defining items. For file-defining items, the text in output-macro describes the default attribute list to be used in an AQL report. For a file-defining item, the text in this field is substituted into any TCL statement that outputs this file. For an attribute-defining item, this attribute has no relevance.
If the output-macro attribute is null on a file-defining item, the text from the macro attribute is used for output as well as input.
If the attributes to be displayed are explicitly defined in the TCL statement, the default output-macro (or macro) attributes are ignored.
The TCL command list filename displays the file using the attributes defined in the output-macro attribute of the file-defining item. However, the TCL command list filename name address zip displays the file showing the name, address, and zip attributes.
NOTE |
Options on the macro attribute are ignored. |
