Finding Problems in Macros
If your macro produces unexpected results or generates an error message,
Minitab provides several tools to help you track down and correct the
problem. You should check for, and correct, these common problems first:
· The
syntax used in the macro is not correct-for
example, the macro does not begin with GMACRO or end in ENDMACRO.
· The
Minitab commands in the macro are not correct-for
example, the REGRESS command is misspelled, or a column name is provided
when the command expected a constant. This kind of mistake generates the
same kind of error message you would have received if you were using Minitab in interactive mode.
· The
macro uses a Minitab command that works differently in a macro than in
interactive Minitab.
