It depends on what you;'re trying to achieve, which you unfortunately forgot to mention.

To learn how to use macros in general, refer to my reply in your other thread, How to use Global macro and local macro.

Hi Arpan.

AX2012 has a good example of this, have a look in the PriceDiscAdmSearch class in AX, you will see a number of macros used both for conditions as well as field list selections. The macros are declared in the class declaration and then used in the search methods e.g. 'searchInventAllAdditionalRelations'

Hi Arpan,

Macros do have some benefits and are quite powerful, but note that the compiler is replacing the macros with the actual x++ coding which will have a small performance penalty during the compilation process.

Yes, despite the fact that you're not new here, you're still forgetting. You even haven't fix this thread. Please review your threads, close all that are already answered and don't forget about it when you get answers in future.

Also, because you're no newbie, it would be great if moderators such as myself wouldn't have to spend timing fixing titles of all your threads. Please make more effort to do your part in this forum. We try to answer your questions for free and all we ask from you is using the forum in a sensible way.
