Subject: macro debugging using log
I hope someone is willing to help me with the following problem.
When using macro's I don't know how to use the information in
the log when there are warnings or errors.
In the example below (in MVS-batch 6.08) I call a macro which is
contained in an included member. Every error or warning message
seems to occur on line 552 (the line in the log on which the macro
is called). What does column mean in this situation?
Are there any debug options helping to link these column-numbers
to the generated code I see if I use MPRINT?
In this particular case my helpdesk gave the advice to extract
the generated code from the log and run the program again without
the macro's but with the code. When I did this the line:column
pointed (more clearly) to the problem area and I could solve
the problem.
If anyone could show me how to avoid this procedure I would be
very grateful.
