Systems and methods for handling macro compatibility for documents at a storage system

A system comprising

• a memory;
• and
• a processing device coupled to the memory, the processing device to perform operations comprising:
• identifying a document to be stored on a network-based storage system, wherein the document comprises one or more macros in a first programming language;
• identifying an object referenced by a function defined by a macro of the one or more macros of the document;
• converting the function into one or more sets of operations represented in a second programming language, wherein each set of operations corresponds to one of one or more candidate object types associated with the object, and wherein at least one of the one or more sets of operations is to be performed with respect to the object responsive to receiving an indication of a corresponding candidate object type for the object during execution of the macro;
• and
• storing, on the network-based storage system, the document comprising the one or more sets of operations represented in the second programming language.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions for a server that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

• identifying a document to be stored on a network-based storage system, wherein the document comprises one or more macros in a first programming language;
• identifying an object referenced by a function defined by a macro of the one or more macros of the document;
• converting the function into one or more sets of operations represented in a second programming language, wherein each set of operations corresponds to one of one or more candidate object types associated with the object, and wherein at least one of the one or more sets of operations is to be performed with respect to the object responsive to receiving an indication of a corresponding candidate object type for the object during execution of the macro;
• and
• storing, on the network-based storage system, the document comprising the one or more sets of operations represented in the second programming language.
