Appel de macro(s) dans une macro (pour aide ? la saisie)

Avec Pacbase, rien n'interdisait d'appeler des macros dans une macro.
Ceci a ?t? mis ? profit dans le cas de macros qui venaient en compl?ment d'autres macros :
- la macro principale ?tait appel?e dans la macro qui venait en compl?ment
- cela permettait l'?criture du code de la macro qui venait en compl?ment "in situ" ce qui permettait de visualiser imm?diatement les d?pendances entre les macros.

Il serait int?ressant de disposer de la m?me facilit? dans l'editeur des macros RPP :
- sur le code Cobol
- sur l'arbre des points d'insertions

Bien ?videmment, le code des macros appel?es ne doit pas "descendre" dans le code des programmes qui r?f?rencent les macros de 1er niveau (comme dans Pacbase).

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.

    A preliminary evaluation of this request indicates that it is consistent with our business strategy. Further evaluation of this RFE is underway.

    This RFE's Headline was changed after submission to reflect the headline of an internal request we were already considering, but will now track here.
