  Hi, everybody!

  I am a novice in MACRO32 programming and I have a little doubt:

  I have created a message definition file (.MSG) that I have compiled and
linked with a compiled MACRO32 source. Some messages in that file have FAO
arguments, so that I want to know is how can I print to SYS$OUTPUT one of
these messages from my MACRO32 program using the $PUTMSG system service
(passing before the appropiate FAO arguments to the message, that is really
my problem). I want that the result will be a normal VMS message with the
identification, severity, facility and text parts.

  I know that is an easy way to print a message with LIB$SIGNAL, but I do
not want to print the symbolic stack traceback each time an error occurs.

  Could somebody help me?
  Thanks in advance.
  Please e-mail me direct

***** I wish you a Happy New Year 1993 ! *****

P.S.: Please excuse me if my english is not too good but I hope that you
      can understand me ! :-)
