12.2(55) or (58) or so no longer supports the global macro feature though, IIRC. I was trying to set up an easy macro to change around the config on my breakout switch (a 3750 running 12.2(58), I believe) and the 'macro name' and 'macro global apply' commands are gone from the CLI and the command reference. They're present in 12.2(44) though.
