ReportMagic

[Function.Call:]

Executes the macros inside a previously-created [Function.Define:] macro.

Macro Compatibility

The macro can be used in all input document types and in Report Studio.

Usage

You may also use the 'shorthand' variant of this macro, e.g. instead of [Function.Call:name=Function Name], use [f:Function Name]. For the related [Function.Define:] macro, you should define a different function name every time you use it (i.e. do not define multiple functions with the same name, or an error will occur).

Parameter	Type	Presence	Purpose	Options	Default
name	String	Mandatory	The name of an existing function to execute.	N/A	N/A

Examples (2)

Example 1:

Executes a function.

// Create a function
[Function.Define:name=Superman Function]
[String:value=Clarke Kent]
[EndFunction:]
// Execute the function above
[Function.Call:name=Superman Function]

Outputs:

Clarke Kent

Example 2:

Executes a function using the [f:function name] shorthand, equivalent to [Function.Call:name=function name]:

// Create a function
[Function.Define:name=Batman Function]
[String:value=Bruce Wayne]
[EndFunction:]
// Execute the function above using the shorthand variant
[f:Batman Function]
