Abstract: Disclosed is a system for processing program statements, such as statements included in a macro. An assembler program is provided a plurality of statements with an input file. The assembler program processes the statements. For each statement the assembler program determines whether the processed statement is a buffering directive including a statement operand. If the assembler program determines that the processed statement is a buffering directive, the assembler program writes the statement operand of the buffering directive into a memory area. Otherwise, the assembler program generates the processed statement into a data stream. The assembler program generates the statements stored in the memory area into the data stream after processing the statements associated with the macro.
