The Macro editor
In this editor, you enter all the characteristics of a Macro.
- Macro Overview tab
This tab displays the label in a read/write mode. It also displays information specific to the instance in a read-only mode and provides access to the other tabs of the instance. - Comments tab
Use this tab to document the Macro parameters. It is meant to help developers when calling a Macro in the -CP Lines tab of a Program, a Screen or a Server. - -G Lines tab
This tab contains the -GC Lines subtab, where you enter comments on the Macro. Another tab, titled Comments, is designed to document the Macro parameters. It is useful when the developer inserts the Macro in a Program or a Screen. This tab also contains the -GE Lines subtab, where you indicate explicit error messages for the errors detected by specific controls. - Macro COBOL Source editor
This editor is used to modify the source code of Macros that are retrieved from different models (batch or client for example). It consists of a source code textual editor, in which you enter the code, and of a Macro code structure view, which displays the nodes hierarchy of the Macro. - -CR Lines tab
This tab is shared by all the entities. It contains the links between entities. These links are called "references". In this tab, you can add references that are not already defined in the design of the entities. - Keywords tab
In this tab, you enter new keywords or view the keywords that are already assigned to the instance.
