How do I use a macro from the _apslist, which has been defined in a 'mother' STP

Dear all,

I have a problem with a Stored Process. We have linked two STP's where one works as a mother-report and the other as a child-report. In the mother-STP I have defined a macro called 'trusler'. I would like to use the information from this macro in the child-STP. This macro is generated from a check-boks in the ASI from the mother-stp.

If I debug my report. Then I get the following _apslist, where my macro now is defined as '_trusler':

_APSLIST=_ODSdest,soci_sted,aar,maaned,cpr,_trusler,_srvname,_rmthost,_htcook,_username,_srvport,_reqmeth,_debug,_htua,_grafloc,_version,_url,_rmtaddr,_reqencoding,_userlocale,_program,_result,_
metaperson,_metauser,_metafolder,_client,_SECUREUSERNAME

However, if I try to use this macro it does not work, and if I try to put this macro it does not return a value.

Do I have to 'activate' the macro somehow before I use it?
