It used to be sort of extensively used in the earlier days for things like
passing values from one form to another before actions like open window with
modes like display, search were not available.
With a lot more available actions, the scope of Run Macro has become a little
more limted in post ARS 5 versions. It still is however useful in some
situations for replicating sequential keystrokes as a single action.
Like Sandeep pointed out however, this action is not available on the web so if
defined in your worklfow, your workflow 'will work' without throwing an error
or an exception, but you will notice that the web client failed to perfom it.
It will just attempt to perfom the next action in queue by skipping the macro
action. If your next action is dependent on the results of your macro action,
your workflow will fail..

Hi Kiran,
You can use the Run Macro action to specify a macro to run whenever the active
link is executed in BMC Remedy User. (The Run Macro active link action is not
available for the web client.) The macro can perform any operation or series of
operations. If the macro contains parameters, you can specify values for those
parameters, including a value from a field in the current request.
