Coding rules
The macro names specified with the purge directive are valid for previously defined macro names.

processed as instructions or symbols.
The purge directive cannot be used within macro definitions.
When multiple macro names are specified, they are delimited by commas (,).
Usage example

pands to a mov instruction. After the purge control statement, the second definition for mac1 takes ef-
