AREAD is how you want to do something. What is it you want to accomplish?
AREAD will never read from a macro because it could have serious unforeseen
consequences. AREAD does not deal with line continuations. Worse yet, the line
from the macro could corrupt that macro causing the macro's author grief with
totally unexpected behavior.
What is your goal? For instance, I have macro's that generate IPCS mapping
directly from mapping macro's. I have macro's that initialize the work area for
a program. Sometimes AREAD works best but not always.
