Thanx to all for the help. I got an example running now. Works well. But I think I'll write some wrapper service program to make it a little easier to use this lib.

Earlier today, I hadn't looked carefully enough for the README that
Mihael pointed to. I was puzzled over how such a macro would be used,
since the names of the structure and the structure member would have to
be known at compile time.
Here's the sample function from the README:
int my_cmp(const struct avltree_node *a,
const struct avltree_node *b)
{
struct my_struct *p = avltree_container_of(a, my_struct, node);
struct my_struct *q = avltree_container_of(b, my_struct, node);
return p->key - q->key;
}
Here's an equivalent function in RPG (unformatted and untested). I
marked the extra code needed to handle the C macro with ***, and the
code that replaces the macro with "mac".
P my_cmp b
D my_cmp pi
D a * value
D b * value
D p ds likeds(my_struct_t)
D based(p_ptr)
D q ds likeds(my_struct_t)
D based(q_ptr)
*** D offsets ds likeds(my_struct_t)
*** D nodeOffset s 10i 0
/free
*** nodeOffset = %addr(offsets.node) - %addr(offsets);
mac p_ptr = a - nodeOffset;
mac q_ptr = b - nodeOffset;
return p.key - q.key;
/end-free
