Macros not working
Submitted by Guest on Tue, 23/11/2010 - 11:41
I have recently edited some of our macros that we use a templates for our consults and hospital updates. However they are not working now and I can't work out why. I have double checked that they are all "active" and start and finish with: ' Also, they are shorter than they used to be so it shouldn't be a word limit issue. I get no error code of any sort, they just don't function.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Re: Macros not working
Hi Kimberley,
Most likely a character in the text that causes the macro to fail. Suggest you post an example problem macro and hopefully we can tell you what may be causing the issue.

Re: Macros not working
Hi Tony,
Here is one of the ones that isn't working - they are all very similar.
Macro code: #hu
Name: Hospital update***
Expression:
'Hospital Update: performed by _ at
Problem list:
History: __ days in hospital
Nutrition:
Examination:
BAR lethargic depressed moribund aggressive
EDDU normally:
Today's wt:
Temp: Heart Rate: Resp:
Assessment:
Medication:
Plan:
Telephone discussion:
Evening Hospital Update'
Hopefully you can find something here.
Thanks!
Re: Macros not working
Hi Kimberley,
Tim kindly pointed out the single quote in today's is the issue. The double quotes solve this. i.e if you need a single quote in the text then need to double quote the text. Alternatively use an apostrophe :-)

Re: Macros not working
Hi Kimberley,
If I change the single quotes that enclose the text with double quotes it works. Suggest do this and I will investigate further why this is required for this macro and not others. Must have something to do with content but cannot see obvious reason yet. :-)
Cheers
