[Gate-users] No output file generated

[Dmitry Hits]

Dear Gate-users,

I am trying to figure out the minimum amount of lines I need to put in the macro file in order to generate a root file with 'hits' in it.

As far a I understand from the manual the macro I pasted below should work. I get no errors, but also no output.

Would you please let me know what I'm missing?

Cheers,

Dmitry
