Hi All,

i pass a prog name which has to be amended. i use a macro named CHMALL to make some amendments
this is how i make a call

IF RC = 0 THEN DO
"EDIT DATAID("INPUTD1") MEMBER("MBRD") MACRO(CHMALL)"
END
ELSE NOP

and in that macro, i do have Trace R option.
I have coded the line in the calling program also

even when i put a display stt ( Say ) in the macro, am not able to see that stt at all

well, you can not prove that the RC=0, thus dropping into the edit invocatgion.

include a SAY within the DO group just before the edit invocation.

can't do much else with all the info that you have provided.

have no idea, you have not explained anything nor have you provided any
useful information.

I would hazaed a guess that the macro is not being invoked correctly, else the SAY command would have executed.

Perhaps you are executing the wrong version of the macro. That is, are you trying to test a new version but actually executing the old version?
