Calling a macro from a macro set

[H. Gluender]

Dear experts,

how does one call a macro that is part of a macro set from another
macro of the same set -- or is this not yet possible?


Imagine for example:

//---------------- Macro Set in File: "StartupMacros.txt" -----------------

var myParam;

macro "macroA [a]" {

    for ( i = 0; i < 5; i++ ) {
       myParam = i;
       runMacro( ??? ); // <-- any idea of how to run macro "macroB [b]" ?
    }

}

macro "macroB [b]" {

    print( myParam );

}

//------------------------------------------------------------------------

Desired result in the "Log"-window:
0
1
3
4


Any idea of how to achieve this?


Best

Create a function that both macros call:

//---------------- Macro Set in File: "StartupMacros.txt"  
-----------------
   var myParam;

   macro "macroA [a]" {
      for ( i = 0; i < 5; i++ ) {
         myParam = i;
         myFunction();
      }
   }

   macro "macroB [b]" {
      myFunction();
   }

   function myFunction() {
      print( myParam );
   }
