I was, and still am a "computer idiot". However, I was able to make some data analysis macros for our 5971 software to provide Retention Index in place of CAS number when doing automated search of our TIC peaks. We had previously made our own specialized fragrance library (took over a year) and had entered in retention index data for each known.
I first made a copy of the original macro using a different name, then adjusted what lines I needed, and then copied that in with the original file name, and tried to see if it worked.
I think someone in a different department who was better at computer helped us with a macro to list all the data in our custom library either by Entry Number or by alphabetic order.
No, I never took the HP Macro training class, would've been over my head. But there was an HP booklet on writing macros, so at that time it was somewhat expected that some would write macros. I think as cGMP became more involved, that some of this was way more difficult and complicated.
