Too many loose ends to declare victory.<br>
<br>
The RT-11 librarian doesn't have a list command for macros; they
were second class citizens. It's available on other DEC OS's
librians, so I must have crossed a memory.<br>
<br>
Names with a '.' or '$' are reserved to DEC. But I don't think
this should impact how the search is conducted. I'm pretty sure I
had private libraries with .foo names (legal, as I was in DEC :-)<br>
<br>
In .FOO, '.' is part of the symbol name.<br>
<br>

describes the DCL:<br>
e.g. EXECUTE MYLIB/LIBRARY+C.MAC/LIST/OBJECT<br>
<br>
I don't suppose that you got it trouble for explicitly specifying
.MLB? That would be strange. But DCL for RT11 came after I stopped
using RT11.<br>
<br>
You didn't provide the .LST file, which is where the real error
should turn up.<br>
Also, .list MD, MC and ME will often shed some light on these sorts
of issues. (Of these, ME is the only one not defaulted on)<br>

I got it working :).<br>
<br>
However, It doesn't look like macro files can be listed - from the
system utilities manual:<br>
The .MACRO directive produces the entries in the library directory
(macro names). LIBR does not maintain a directory listing file for
macro libraries; you can print the ASCII input file to list the
macros in the library.<br>
<br>
I did a bunch more reading and figured out that the issue was
around inconsistent/improper use of the leading dot.
Interestingly, no diagnostic I could find was helpful in tracking
this down. Y'alls tips and hints were much more useful.<br>
<br>
So, here's how it went down (don't use a leading dot for
user-defined macros, but if you do use them, use them everywhere):<br>

<pre wrap="">Try the obvious:
lib/mac/list tin.mlb
I don't remember exactly, but I think there's a /detail or /names or
/list=names that will list the macro names in the library.
That will at least determine if MAC *should* find the macro.

All,
A couple of questions:
...
lib/mac/c tin tin
macro et2/list/cross+tin.mlb/lib
?MACRO-E-Errors detected: 2
DK:ET2,DK:ET2/C=DK:ET2,DK:TIN.SML

<pre wrap="">Try putting the macro library earlier in the command line. I believe
MACRO processes command arguments as it encounters them, so here
you're asking it to assemble ET2 before you've given it the macro
library it needs to understand the .MCALL.

<pre wrap="">I tried the command with the filespecs switched with the same result:
.macro tin.MLB/lib+et2/list/cross
?MACRO-E-Errors detected: 2
DK:TIN,DK:ET2/C=DK:TIN.MLB/M,DK:ET2
And then I ran it via run macro:
.run macro
*ET2.OBJ,ET2.LST,ET2.LST=TIN.MLB/M,ET2
?MACRO-E-Errors detected: 2
ET2.OBJ,ET2.LST,ET2.LST=TIN.MLB/M,ET2
*
And then I edited the macro file to include a LIBRARY directive:
.TITLE ETTYIN
.LIBRARY /TIN.MLB/
.MCALL .TTYOUT,.TIN
START: MOV #BUFFER,R1
CLR R2
INLOOP: .TIN (R1)+
INC R2
CMPB #12,R0
BNE INLOOP
MOV #BUFFER,R1
OUTLOOP:.TTYOUT (R1)+
DEC R2
BEQ START
BR OUTLOOP
BUFFER: .BLKW 64.
.END START
and recompiled:
.macro et2/list/cross
?MACRO-E-Errors detected: 2
DK:ET2,DK:ET2/C=DK:ET2
It looks to me like it is finding the file, but not "seeing" the macro
definition?
Thanks,
Will
