\[Function] RunningMacro \[Number]

## Example

- To disable the first macro that is currently running, type:

|                                                                    |                                         |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------- |
| ![](/img/grandma3/2-3/icon_commandline-input_logo_v2-0-59d23e.png) | User name\[Fixture]>Off RunningMacro 1  |

 

- To list all running macros, change destination to the running macros first:

|                                                                    |                                                     |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------- |
| ![](/img/grandma3/2-3/icon_commandline-input_logo_v2-0-59d23e.png) | User name\[Fixture]>ChangeDestination RunningMacro  |

Result:
