Macro Entries

Each file-loading operation that is recorded into the Macro table is called a macro entry.Each
macro entry stores information about how a disk file should be loaded. Each entry is displayed
as a single item in a scrollable list on the MACRO page, with various fields indicating the
parameters of the entry. Each macro entry also has a partition ID, which is recorded when you
create the macro. The partition ID is part of the macro entry's name; it appears after the SCSI ID.
You can view macro entries (if there's a current macro table) by pressing the Macro soft button
while in Disk mode.
When editing a macro entry (using the Modify option on the MACRO function page in Disk
mode), you can edit the partition ID along with other properties of the entry. If you change the
partition ID of a macro entry, make sure it's a valid partition ID.
