New flags

Hi! I'm new to this forum and had a quick question. I'm trying to add some new flags EG: ACT type mob flags, EXTRA type item flags and some AFFECT type flags.

I've added them to merc.h, an example would be rage

#define AFF_RAGE (a)

Then in tables.c

{ "rage", a, TRUE },

Then in handler.c, under affect_bit_name

if ( vector & AFF_RAGE ) strcat( buf, " rage" );

It might sound stupid, but where else should I put it?
I tried compiling and got an error:

handler.c: In function ‘affect_bit_name’:
handler.c:4101: error: ‘a’ undeclared (first use in this function)
handler.c:4101: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once

Any help would be appreciated!

There is no lower-case "a" there.
