Passing parameters between macros

[vivagupta]

Hi there,

I am trying to find if we can pass parameters between macros. I searched postings on this forum but did not find any response matching my requirement.

I have a custom macro for which i am creating a header file. I include this header file into another calling macro. I call the header file procedure from within this calling macro. It works fine so far. But now i need to pass parameters into the procedure that i have written in the header file. Is there a simple way to do this?

Thanks.

If you're looking to pass one variable back and forth between two macros, then declare it as Global.

'  Macro1.EBM
Global varVariable

Sub Main
    MsgBox varVariable
    varVariable = "Macro 1 Value"
    MsgBox varVariable
End Sub

'  Macro2.EBM
Global varVariable

Sub Main
    MsgBox varVariable
    varVariable == "Macro 2 Value"
    MsgBox varVariable
End Sub

One thing you will notice is that varVariable will keep it's value. So you will have to reset varVariable manually. Closing the program and opening it back up will not reset the value of varVariable.


If you want to use a variale in multiple subroutines then simply Dim it before your include.

'  Include.EBH
Sub IncludeSub
    varVariable = "Include"
End Sub

'  Main.EBM
Dim varVariable
'$include "Include.ebh"

Sub Main
    varVariable = "Main"
    MsgBox varVariable
    IncludeSub
    MsgBox varVariable
End Sub
