What problem does it solve?

MAC routines are prone to subtle errors that break legacy CHUI and label-based code. This skill provides a preflight discipline that enforces best practices before writing any MAC code, reducing syntax, structural, and runtime issues.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Hard-gate checks before writing MAC routines, including routine entry style, label indentation, include syntax, and extrinsic call conventions.
  • Guidance for robust error handling with $ZTRAP and safe cross-routine calls, improving code reliability in legacy IRIS projects.
  • Use Case: when maintaining or upgrading .mac files and legacy routines in CHUI-based applications, this skill helps ensure consistent, correct patterns across teams.

Quick Start

Review the MAC routine guidelines and apply the eight pre-write checks to your next .MAC routine before coding.
