John,

A simple way would be to replace where the macro is used with the code of the macro.

Replace the &parms with the appropiate values and then run/compile it. You can then trace it, make the modifications to both the inline code and the macro until you get it working. then return the macro and remove the inline code.

Macro debugging is not possible.

One way is to replace the macro with a perform and then debugging it. The & parameters will become the using/changing parameters of this subroutine.

Unless you want to keep the execution of your code non-debuggable, I don't see any benefits to developing a macro in custom code.
