3.3.2 Tracing a CASL Macro

Accessory Manager includes a tracing program that displays the flow of your CASL macro as it runs. By tracing a macro, you can see how the lines in the macro are executing. This is particularly useful if you have problems with your macro, since you can see exactly what each line of the macro is doing.

You can trace an entire macro beginning with its first line, or you can begin tracing the macro once it has begun running.

To trace a CASL macro from the beginning

  1. If a session is not already open, open one.

  2. From the Tools menu, click Trace.

  3. Run the CASL macro that you want to trace.

    The instructions in the CASL macro appear in the CASL Macro Trace window as they are executed.
