My macro doesn't work.  The system is quite complex so I am not yet
posting all the files here.  The SYMBOLGEN MPRINT and MTRACE options are
on.  The thing that I am wondering is that the macro TUPALKO starts
and then macro TOISTA is reported to start, but after that macro
Toista is not reported to do anything, specially ending.  The macro
TUPALKO which calls macro TOISTA is reported to end.  Can anybody
explain this?
 
Thank you for interest.  I prefer replies by mail.
