Invoking a Global Macro
    

To invoke, or process, a global macro from Minitab, enter the symbol % followed by the macro file name. For example, to invoke a macro file named ANALYZE.MAC, enter the command: %ANALYZE

Notes on invoking macros

·    The default file name extension for macros is MAC. When you invoke a macro that has an extension of MAC, you only need to type the file name, as in %ANALYZE. If the extension is not MAC, you must type the file name and extension, as in %ANALYZE.TXT.

·    When you invoke a macro, by default Minitab looks for that macro file first in the current folder, then in the Macros subfolder. If the macro is not in one of those default folders, you can specify the folder by including a path when you invoke the macro. For example, %c:\SALES\ANALYZE.

·    If a files name includes spaces, put the name in single quotes, as in
%'a very long file name.MAC'
