NAME

fbtstmac - interactive tool to validate syntax of FirstBase macro files

SYNOPSIS

fbtstmac

DESCRIPTION

Fbtstmac is a simple, interactive tool that allows the user to submit macro code to the macro parser to ensure the code is syntactically correct.

When invoked, fbtstmac responds with a fbtestmacro> prompt. The following is a list of commands that can be used at this point:

help - general help exit - exit quit - exit ^D (EOF) - exit cd - change directory pwd - print working directory ls - list working directory !command - submit command to UNIX shell filename - submit file to macro parser
When a macro file parses correctly, the message "macro file parsed AOK" will be returned. Otherwise, a line numbered listing of the macro file and a display of the errors detected is shown.
