To create a Data Transaction Macro

1. Right-click on Solution Explorer > Data Transactions and select Add New Transaction from the menu. If desired, you can also create a new folder to group your transactions by selecting Add New Group from the menu and moving your new transaction into this folder.

2. Enter an Item Name, Description. Set the Macro Type to Data Transaction.

3. Add parameters for each value being passed in to the macro. The Location and Length columns do not apply to Data Transaction macros. A maximum of 31 can be used due to the integration with the VBA environment. To work around this, you may concatenate multiple values separated by a unique string like “ | “ and only use 1 parameter.

4. Select the Transaction function from the Procedure drop-down list and a shell function will be created for you.

   Select the Offline option from the Procedure drop-down list if you want the transaction that will run on an offline client.

   For Menu descriptions, see the Data Transactions Macro Menu.

A Host Transaction macro can be created and linked to a Host Screen macro. This is described in the Screen Mapping section.
