iMacros EOL - Attention!

The renewal maintenance has officially ended for Progress iMacros effective November 20, 2023 and all versions of iMacros are now considered EOL (End-of-Life). The iMacros products will no longer be supported by Progress (aside from customer license issues), and these forums will also no longer be moderated from the Progress side.

Thank you again for your business and support.

Sincerely,
The Progress Team

Please update to V 0.6.0.6 to fix this issue.

The following test works well in V 0.6.0.6:

Code: Select all

SET !VAR1 3863 
URL GOTO=https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/{{!VAR1}}/

The {{!NOW:D}} variable doesn't work. The following:

Code: Select all

URL GOTO=https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/{{!NOW:D}}/
results in "The requested URL /firefox/{{!NOW:D}}/ was not found on this server". When I tried it like:

Code: Select all

SET !VAR1 !NOW:D
URL GOTO=https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/{{!VAR1}}/
I got "The requested URL /firefox/!NOW:D/ was not found on this server.".

It would be really useful to me to be able to use that variable (obviously not for the FireFox site). The version I used was V 0.6.0.6.
