Cancel a different macro?

I thought "Cancel a Specific Macro" would be what I was looking for but it's not for that i've now seen.

Have you seen this:

Cancel a Specific Macro Action

You can get an opaque string representing the executing instance of a specific macro instance - that is, each time a macro starts executing, that is a new instance (which also corresponds to a new set of Instance Variables) - by using the ExecutingInstance token. If you squirrel that away somewhere, then another macro can use it to interact with that specific instance. In particular it can use the Cancel a Specific Macro action to cancel it. For example: Global Macro Group Macros.kmmacros (3…

It may or may not be what you want.

But another way of telling another macro to cancel is for Macro B (the macro to be cancelled) to be in a While action loop that checks a Global Variable (say "CancelNow") for a specific value. So While "CancelNow" is not "YES" continue the loop.

In Macro A, when you want to cancel Macro B, set "CancelNow" to "YES".

Make sense?
