Convert Macro

The Convert Macro utility enables you to convert an existing Personal Communications Macro file to XML or a VBScript file.
Note:
Macros that are converted to XML are intended for use in Host On-Demand and will not function in Personal Communications emulation sessions. Use the HOD Macro Manager to import a converted Personal Communications macro into HOD. These converted macros will not appear in the list of available Personal Communications macros.

To use the conversion utility, click IBM Personal Communications → Utilities → Convert Macro.

To convert an existing macro to XML or a VBScript, do the following:
  1. Select the name of an existing macro to be converted.
    Note:
    The macro must exist in the application data directory specified during installation.
  2. Select VBScript or XML as the type of macro to which to convert.
  3. Click Convert.
  4. Enter a name for the new XML file or VBScript or accept the generated name. The extension will be added automatically.
    Note:
    When saving a converted XML macro you can choose where you would like to save it. You should not change the location of the converted VBScript macros.
  5. Click Save.
  6. Repeat the procedure to convert another macro, or click Close to end the application.
