#147155 - Macro - widespread, general term.
Responding to: ???'s previous message
José Félix Díaz Ivorra said:
Macro is an assembler directive

It is more than just that - it is a widespread and common computer term.

In general a "Macro" is a simple representation - or abbreviation - of a more complex sequence of operations. It simplifies the programmer or user's life by not having to repeat the entire sequence, but just use the "abbreviation" instead.

Many assemblers have support for macros;
'C' has support for macros via preprocessot #defines;
etc, etc,...
