Error description

  • Customer reports a problem with the macro conversion tool.
    They converted a PCOMM 5.7 macro to xml format using the PCOMM
    6.0.1 macro converting tool. The new macro fails to run in HOD.
    Customer states that the first input (multi session login)
    works as expected then the macro stops. When checking the macro
    in the HOD 11.08 macro editor, only the actions of the first
    action will be shown. All subsequent actions are empty.
