  @brief Testing mp_abort macro
  @details This is an unfixed problem with mp_abort when using the
  'unclosed macro' technique.  This is only relevant for 9.4m3 environments,
  which can suffer from hung multibridge sessions from %abort and endsas.
 
  The issue is that when called within a macro, within a %include, AND that
  macro contains subsequent logic, the service does not end cleanly - rather,
  we see:
 
      ERROR: %EVAL function has no expression to evaluate, or %IF statement has no condition.
      ERROR: The macro TEST will stop executing.
 
  We are not able to test this without a 9.4m3 environment, it is marked as
  nofix.
