"EXECUTE MACRO HELP"

"This  function  loads and executes  a  previously  recorded  series of"
"multi-record operations; i.e.  select records, calculate, sort, print."
"Thusly, a MACRO can be used to extrapolate data  routinely  needed for"
"day to day operations.  The output of a MACRO will change according to"
"the state of the datafile at the time the MACRO is run."

"A MACRO is like a computer program; a way to do a job that needs done."
"If you need to do a job only once don't write a program to do it, just"
"do it manually; you'll do a lot less work.   When the need for the job"
"becomes repetitive THEN consider writing a MACRO to do it."

"MACROs are selected in the same way as datafiles, I/O group and marker"
"files.   After selection the screen will ask you  to  make the printer"
"ready,  and LEAVE IT on-line until the MACRO ends.  The essence of the"
"MACRO is SPEED; they stop ONLY to display a total/average not printed."
