Macro Language Elements
The section contains detailed specifications for all 1010data Macro Language elements.
- Data Transformation
  Data transformation operations use functions and expressions to functionally alter tabular data. These operations take 0, 1, or 2 tables as input and produce a single table as a result.
- Blocks
  Blocks allow users to reuse sections of Macro Language code and to parameterize values in that code for greater flexibility and power.
- Application Development
  - <dynamic>
    The <dynamic> element creates an environment in 1010data that maintains the state of system interactions and controls the running of queries.
  - <render>
    The <render> element provides the ability to configure certain QuickApp widgets when rendered to available output targets. A single <render> element contains one or more elements that specify output targets and settings for the final output.
  - <layout>
    The <layout> element is a nestable pseudo-operation that can be used to organize <widget> elements and other <layout> elements.
  - <widget>
    <widget> is used to define all visual components of a QuickApp, including drop-downs, text boxes, tables, and calendars. The form a widget takes is controlled by the class_ attribute.
  - <do>
    A <do> clause within a <dynamic> provides the ability for <dynamic> variables to be updated when some variable within the scope of the <dynamic> is changed.

     key_="[KEY]" data_="[DATA]" 
     persist_="0|1" value_="@var"/>
</dynamic>

Attributes for `action_="hashput"`

key_

Specifies the name of the key to save in the user-specific private store.

Note: Because the namespace, while private to the user, may be shared with other 1010 features, care should be taken in choosing the keys, and applications should not overwrite keys set elsewhere.

data_

Specifies the data associated with the given key to save in the user-specific private store.

Any type of data may be stored, including strings, tables, lists, packages, XML, etc.

If the key had a previous value associated with it, that value is overwritten.

persist_

Determines whether the key/value association is persistent. Accepts a 1 or 0.

If persist_="1", the key/value association will survive the user's session and be available at next login.

If persist_="0", the key/value association is for the duration of the session only. In addition, if the key was previously persistently stored, it will be removed from the persistent store.

value_

The previous value is stored in the dynamic variable associated with the value_ attribute.

The variable must be declared in the opening <dynamic> tag of the QuickApp (e.g., <dynamic var_name="">).
