3.6.5.3 DocEnd

DocEnd-macro

The DocEnd macro is triggered by closing the current document (project), either...

• when you exit Origin.

Exiting Origin by selecting File:Exit, clicking the Origin close window system icon, or issuing the exit command, ...triggers execution of the DocEnd macro.

• when a new project is opened.

Origin only allows one project to be open at a time, so opening a new project necessitates closing the current project. Consequently, opening a new project by selecting File:New or File:Open from the Origin main menu, clicking the New Project button or the Open button, or issuing the doc -d, doc -n, doc -o or doc -of commands, ... triggers execution of the DocEnd macro.

The DocEnd macro is unique in that a define statement for the DocEnd macro is contained in the file MACROS.CNF (found in the Origin software folder). MACROS.CNF is read when Origin starts. The definition for DocEnd (the default definition does nothing) can be commented out or modified as desired.
