Model statements
You can write machine instruction statements and assembler instruction statements as model statements. During macro generation, the assembler copies them exactly as they are written. You can also use variable symbols as points of substitution in a model statement. The assembler enters values in place of these points of substitution each time the macro is called.
The three types of variable symbols in the assembler language
are:
- Symbolic parameters, declared in the prototype statement
- System variable symbols
- SET symbols, which are part of the conditional assembly language
The assembler processes the generated statements, with or without value substitution, at assembly time.
