Re: macro fails to access param properties with render.eval

You are calling a method on a string.  When you put $p1 between the single
quotes, you are not using whatever object $p1 is, but the literal string
'$p1' and getId() is not a method for a string.

Also, it works fine for me when I run #aMacro($p1) with a dummy object, but
not setting macroName and call variables.  Are those necessary?  Try this:

#aMacro($p1)
