A macro generator is a program or script that creates an OS 2200 macro dynamically by interacting with the operator. Like other programs and scripts, a macro generator can use menus and dialog boxes to obtain input from the operator. A macro generator uses environment variables to obtain context information; see Macro Generator Environment Variables for more information.
Notes:
A macro generator provides functionality that is similar to the legacy Friendly Console menus.
