hi Fabio,

It looks like you'll have to write your own preprocessor.

The only way I've found to see some preprocessed code is when there's an error on a line, eg

#define	MAX_INTEGER	(0x7fffffff)

set MAX_INTEGER ON

The prog.err file looks like

set (0x7fffffff) ON
Error in line 30: Command contains unrecognized phrase/keyword.

There may be a way with a sys() that is not documented, but then someone from Microsoft would have to answer that
