Hi

I inadvertently stumbled upon this strange 'bug' in my ioc.db file

I had the following record:

     }

Now the field 'FLNK' is commented out and I have deleted my macro $(dd) in my substitution file.

When I run my IOC, I get the following warning

macLib: macro dd is undefined (expanding string #    field(FLNK, "$(dd)")

Warning: 'db/dbExample1.db' line 16 has undefined macros

So the comment (#) still evaluates the macro, even if the documentation says it ignores the whole line. Of course if the macro exist it runs without the warning.

Not a critical issue but can be misleading.

Thanks

Amien
