The PPMACRO option specifies options to be passed to the MACRO preprocessor if it is invoked.
.-NOPPMACRO-. >>-+-+-----------+-------------+------------------------------->< '-PPMACRO(‘options string’)-'
Specifying PPMACRO('CASE(ASIS)') PP(MACRO) is the same as specifying PP(MACRO('CASE(ASIS)')).
This option has no effect unless the PP(MACRO) option is specified. However, if you want to specify a set of MACRO preprocessor options that should be used if and when the MACRO preprocessor is invoked, you can specify this option in the installation options exit. Then whenever you specify the MACRO or PP(MACRO) options, the set of options specified in the PPMACRO option will be used.
Also, any options specified when the preprocessor is invoked overrule those specified in the PPMACRO option. So specifying PPMACRO('CASE(ASIS)') PP(MACRO('CASE(UPPER)')) is the same as specifying PP(MACRO('CASE(ASIS) CASE(UPPER)')) or the even simpler PP(MACRO('CASE(UPPER)')).
The options string is limited to 1000 characters in length. However, if the string is longer than 100 characters, it will not be shown in the options listing.
