To display the contents of this section, you must select
a Macro call in the left area of the tab. You must indicate the line
number and the parameters, if any,
of the Macro call. You can also access the Macro editor tabs from
here. If the Macro contains parameters, you can click the button which
corresponds to the Comments tab to see whether
the parameters have been documented.
- Line number
- This field contains the line number, constituted of two numeric
characters. When a Macro is parameterized, it is used to call it more
than once into the same program.
- $A to $J parameters
- Initially, only the first 10 parameters ($n,
with n= 1,2,...,9,0)
are displayed. So you can click Add to add
10 more parameters.
- Parameters
- This table contains the replacement values of the parameters in
the form of:
- A simple character string (or a blank) in the Value column.
The number of characters used for each parameter value corresponds
to the appropriate field length for the element being parameterized.
For example, if $1 is used as a function code,
the value must be two characters long.
- A Data Element, Data Structure, or Segment. The box in the Entity
call column is checked and the Linked instance column
then displays E=DELCO, D=DD or S=SEGT (where DELCO, DD and SEGT represent
the instance code). At the time of transformation, the parameter is
replaced by DELCO, DD or SEGT and
cross-references are set up.
