Using DOORS Next and RPE/PUB 7.0.2

When I try to run a report through launcher which specifies a macro, I am getting the following message:
CRRPE1064I Running macro ...
Error running macro. Error: -2147352573 - Can't run the specified macro

I have updated the .ini files to include:
-Dcom.ibm.rational.rpe.enable_commands=true

I can run the macro manually with no issue.
The macro currently resides in the style sheet (.dotm) file
I have confirmed that the style sheet is being picked up and applied correctly for styles etc.
If I move the macro to my generic word normal.dotm  - the macro works without issue in RPE/PUB

Side question: should the macros be copied into the generated document?

 Please  refer to link on how to run macros if that helps - https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/engineering-lifecycle-management-suite/lifecycle-optimization-publishing/7.0.3?topic=SS6RHZ_7.0.3/com.ibm.rational.pe.publishing.doc/topics/t_macros.htm

Hi Karan,
Sorry but that doesn't address the issue.

I can run the macro manually with no issue.

 Chris, 

I hope you have referred the "Running the macro by using the Macro name property" section . 

If there are any variables in your macro you will need to use post command property . 

Both of which is described in the document that I have shared above.

Hi Karan,
Sorry but that doesn't address the issue.

The macro doesn't use any viables.

If I move the macro to my generic word normal.dotm  - the macro works as per "Running the macro by using the Macro name property" section.

But if the macro resides in the stylesheet it fails with the following:

CRRPE1064I Running macro ...
Error running macro. Error: -2147352573 - Can't run the specified macro

 Chris,

Does your stylesheet works fine when you apply it manually ?? Does it run the macro ?

Yes, all works fine if used manually.

Any chances you could share the template and stylesheet ?
