Input macro field

Create an input macro field to represent the input that you want to use in an expression macro. Depending on the type of macro, the input can be fields or constants.

The following table describes the properties you can define when you create an input macro field:

Property	Description
Name	Name of the input macro field.
Type	The data type of the field.
Precision	Total number of digits in a number. For example, the number 123.45 has a precision of 5. The precision must be greater than or equal to 1. You cannot specify a decimal field precision greater than 38.
Scale	Number of digits to the right of the decimal point of a number. For example, the number 123.45 has a scale of 2. Scale must be greater than or equal to 0. The scale of a number must be less than its precision. The scale may cause zero-filling or truncation with rounding. For example, a scale of 5 causes 123.45 to be expressed as "123.45000" while 123.456789 becomes "123.45679". Not editable for all data types.
Description	Optional. Description of the field. The description can contain up to 4000 characters.
