A dynamic macro is the conditional inclusion of a pcl macro in a separate file. The value of the mapped field is taken, an 'm' is prepended, '.pcl' is appended, and a file by that name is sought. If found, it's contents are included in the output pcl stream.

The dynamic macro mapped field requires these settings.

• The mapped field must be a type 5.
• The F13 key needs to be pressed to insure that the IFS directory path is correct. This path must then contain the macro file. The default path is /idocs/macros/signatures. The macro file must be in this directory.
• The macro file must be correctly named: the macro file name must begin with an m. So if the data from the spooled file contains the value FOO, then the macro file must be named mFOO.pcl. This is not case sensitive. Note that greenbar text is frequently uppercase.
