I have createded a macro in my program. I wanted a byte value to return. How to do? IN macro properties I have selected Byte as return type. Which value it will return? How to define it?

Thanks in advance

Add a calculation icon within the macro itself. When you browse the available variables (using the "variables.." button on the edit calculation icon), you will see a variable called something like "myMacro.Return" - this will hold the value that is returned by the macro.

What is the difference between a variables build by me self and the *.Return variables?

Hello Wolfgang,

The "*.return" variable is just a special variable that holds the value to return from the macro (if you have selected it to have a return value in the macro properties). It works like any other variable, but is 'local' to the macro in the same way that "parameters" and "local variables" are.
