Hello Cris

Macros are used to "abbreviate" coding. The repetitive part of the coding is defined in the macro. Below is and example of filling the itab of excluded functions for an ALV toolbar:

DATA: lt_excltab   TYPE ui_functions.

  APPEND cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_func_loc_info TO lt_excltab.
  APPEND cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_func_loc_graph TO lt_excltab.
  APPEND cl_gui_alv_grid=>...                          TO lt_excltab.
...

Use of macro:

DEFINE mac_exclude_function.
  APPEND &1 TO lt_excltab.
END-OF-DEFINITON.


mac_exclude_function: cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_func_loc_info,
                      cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_func_loc_graph,
                                  ...
