Macro Locks

A macro lock name begins with VMNUC and has the following format:

VMNUC‑MACRO‑VMDIRECT‑macroname
macroname

Specifies the name of the macro being locked.

Each time a user invokes a command that is implemented by a macro, a shared lock is placed on the corresponding macro. The MACLOAD command must have a private lock on the macro being updated by VMXMACUP. Therefore, macro updates automatically wait while a shared lock exists on a macro.
