Execute a Lotus software application macro.

Syntax

Evaluate ( macro [ , object ] )

Elements

macro

A string expression specifying the text of a Lotus software application macro, in the syntax that the product recognizes. Refer to the Lotus software documentation for the correct syntax of the macro.

If the macro text is in a constant or string literal, the Lotus software application needs to do only initial processing of the macro once, at compile time, while variable strings incur that processing each time the macro is evaluated.

Optional. The name of a product object. Refer to the product documentation to determine if the macro requires an object, and what the object is.

If the Lotus software application macro being executed returns a value, the Evaluate function returns a Variant containing that value. Otherwise, the function does not return a value.
