To display the contents of this section, you must select
a Macro. 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
one of the following forms:
- A simple character string (or a blank) in the Value column.
The number of characters that is 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 2 characters long.
- A Data Element, Data Structure, or Segment. In this case, the
instance is selected in the Entity linked column.
It is preceded, in the Value column, by 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.
