Macro File Processing 

To process a Source Macro File, issue a file equation with the Source
Macro File equated to GENTEXT. Then run the generator with MACROPROC=ON
specified in the INFO string.  This tells the generator that it is
processing a Source Macro File and should produce a Processed Macro File.
Figure 4-1 illustrates Source Macro File processing.


          Figure 4-1.  Source Macro File Processing 

When the generator is run to process a Source Macro File it checks that
each macro name is unique within the Source Macro File and checks that
each macro is surrounded by the #macro and #endmacro constructs.  Further
syntax checking is done when the macro is invoked.  Refer to Chapter 5
for more information on processing the Source Macro File.

If you later modify or add any macros to the Source Macro File, the file
must be re-processed by the generator.  Otherwise, the Processed Macro
File will not reflect the changes to the Source Macro File.
