*USE in *ABBR command

[andreamordini]

When I call a macro from a macro library by using the *ABBR command with:
*ABBR, command, *USE, macroname
at startup I obtain:
* no longer valid as comment character - please use !
and the abbreviation is cancelled.
Do you know what the problem could be?

Hi,

it works like that:

*abb,command,macroname.mac,arguments

Ansys will first search in the Work Directory and than in the APDL directory.

If you are usig a mcro from a macro library, you must call a macro, who will call the other macro from the library,

*abb,command,mainmacro.mac ! calls main macro

The content of main macro:

*uli,libname,ans
*use,macroname

Regards,
Alex

But in this case I have to write a different MAC file for each macro... there's not a big improvement in using a library...
