setBatchMode

[Gabriel Landini]

I read some time ago that one should call setBatchMode only once in a macro.

Is is possible to overcome this?

For instance, if I run a macro with the setBatchMode true, and this calls
another macro that also uses setBatchMode, when the 2nd macro calls it false,
then this causes some problems in the calling macro.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
(Yes I am aware that I could embed the 2nd macro in the first one, but if
there is an alternative solution, it would be easier to maintain the macros
separately).

Regards

Gabiel,

you may use a flag if batchmode has been set and test whether this
flag is true in the macro to be called...

Thanks! this gave me a further idea!
I can use  is("Batch Mode") and if true, not call the batch mode in the 2nd
macro.

Many thanks
