ACTION Use the HELP macro-name command to find the definition of the macro and correct the
call to correspond to the number of parameters defined in the macro. If HELP shows
that the macro definition is not what you wanted, the next time you exit the system,
edit the macro file to adjust the definition as needed and the macro will be ready for all
future runs.
1480 MESSAGE The value ! could not be substituted into the definition (SDERR 1480)
CAUSE The indicated value could not be substituted into the macro definition as the line it is
being substituted on cannot be split.
ACTION Edit the macro definition to have some kind of punctuation (blank, period, comma, etc.)
on the affected line. This allows the system to break the line at a consistent point and
perform the substitution.
1481 MESSAGE No macro file has been specified (SDERR 1481)
CAUSE A SHOWMACRO command was issued but no macro file has been initialized. So, there
are no macro names to report.
ACTION Use the OPTIONS command to load a macro file and then issue the SHOWMACRO to
see what macro names were loaded. No action is required if you do not wish to use any
macros.
1482 MESSAGE Macro name ! conflicts with a command name (SDERR 1482)
CAUSE The indicated macro name conflicts with an SDMAIN command name.
ACTION Change the name of the macro to one that does not conflict with an SDMAIN command
name. The indicated macro will not be available for the current execution.
1483 MESSAGE No value specified for required parameter ! (SDERR 1483)
CAUSE The specified parameter is a required parameter but no value is provided on the call.
ACTION Provide a value for the specified parameter. If the parameter really should be optional,
you can make it optional by editing the macro header to provide a default value of a
null value (that is, parm=). This allows you to omit a value for the parameter if desired
and the system will substitute nothing in its place.
1484 MESSAGE Invalid macro option (SDERR 1484)
CAUSE The specified macro option is not one of the valid macro options.
ACTION Check the valid macro options in the documentation and enter a valid one. The
indicated macro will not be available for the current execution.
1485 MESSAGE Conflicting macro option. Default value ! used (SDWARN 1485)
CAUSE The indicated macro option conflicts with a previous macro option.
ACTION No action is required at this time. The macro will be defined for the current execution
using the specified default value for the conflicting options. You should edit the macro
file to remove the conflicting options for future uses of the macro file.
1486 MESSAGE Must supply a value for the required parameter (SDWARN 1486)
CAUSE The parameter being prompted for is a required parameter. A value is required for all
required parameters.
ACTION The system reprompts for the parameter. To execute the macro, enter an appropriate
value for this parameter. To cancel the macro, press [[Control]] Y. If the parameter is
