You can generate a macro program with a text editor or word processing program following the rules in this chapter. Names for these files follow the same specifications as the system's naming conventions, along with the addition of a .cdl extension. A typical macro file consists of variable length records delimited by new lines. Each of these statements directs the flow of the program. A typical statement represents a primitive, a command, or an expression, along with any required parameters.
