Specifying general options in the Manage Macro Files dialog allows you to control additional properties of the HLASM parser when tokenizing in z Systems® LPEX Editor.

Procedure

To specify general properties in a user macro file, complete the following steps:

Do one of the following actions:
- In the HLASM tab of the Editor Options preference page, type the name of your user macro file in the User Macro File field.
- In the HLASM Parser preference page, type the name of your user macro file in the User Macro File field.
Click on the Manage button next to the User Macro File field.
The Manage Macro Files dialog appears and, if specified, it will load the macro file from the User Macro File field.
Select the desired file from the Macro File combo box, import an existing file, or create a new file.
The macro file will be loaded into the dialog.
Click on the General tab in the dialog.
Optional. Specify any characters you want the HLASM parser to recognize as special characters.
The HLASM parser recognizes the following characters as special characters by default:
```
+-,=.*()`/&
```

Optional. Specify any characters you want the HLASM parser to recognize as attribute characters.
The HLASM parser recognizes the following characters as attribute characters by default:
```
TLSIKNDOtlsikndo
```
Note: Any value you specify for this option overrides the HLASM parser defaults.
Optional. Add any desired register mnemonics:
1. Select Override previous definitions to override the default definitions in the parser or those defined in base macro file. Leave this option unchecked to add the specified mnemonics to the default definitions in the parser or those defined in base macro file.
2. Enter a mnemonic on the Registers Mnemonic entry field
3. Press Add.
  The mnemonic is added to the list.
