DISCUS giving "Macro not found" error

[njweadock]

Hi,

I recently installed DISCUS 6.08.02 using WSL and have been working through the Cookbook examples. I have begun to experience an intermittent issue that is difficult to reproduce.

This issue is that I will sometimes try to execute a macro only to have an error arise:

suite > @macro, 1,2,3
***MAC*** Macro not found                                              *** -12 ***

The macro is in the directory, and shows up with:

>system dir

This will persist with any of the macros in the directory once the error appears. Sometimes, changing the directory and running macros in the new directory will work. Restarting DISCUS_Suite through >exit sometimes, but not always, fixes the issue. I can still execute command line commands, but any attempt to call a macro will result in the above error.

I have tried removing any access permissions from the directory, this does not seem to change anything.

I notice that this will also persist if I mistype the name of a macro

There should be no comma immediately following the macro name. thus the correct syntax would be:
@macro.mac 1, 2, 3
or
@macro 1, 2, 3 ( provided the macro name is macro.mac
This is the general rule for all DISCUS commands. After the command a white space is required.

Also, please be aware the directory names are case sensitive
