Logging Macro Results

You can use the env.setResult command to set parameters within a macro to display
information through the macroData log file. When defined, parameter information
appears in the macroData log file at the NOTICE severity level following the
completion of the macro.
The following example defines several results (1 through 5):
Each value is sent to the macroData log file, starting with 1 and ending with 5. Each
successive value overwrites the previous value in the log file. In other words, if the
macro ends after setting the third result (that is, 3) the log file displays the following:
A is 3
If the macro finishes completely, the log file displays the following:
A is 5

Viewing Macro Errors

You can view macro error information in the macroData log file using the show log
data command and specifying the macroData keyword for the category.
NOTE: Each execution of a macro, by any user and by any name, obtains a unique
ID. This ID appears in the starting and ending message of the macro output and for
each log message in the macroData log.
