Hi All,
I hope you can help me with an assembler error I haven't seen before.
I had thought that the following would be a legal syntax for multiple-operand
continued DC statements, but HLASM is complaining about it. Here is what the
source looks like:
DC A(0),CL7'NAME1 ',X'00',X'09',X'03',AL1(typ_X), X
AL1(0+bitFlag1+bitFlag222+bitFlag3333+bitFlag44444), X
AL1(0+bitFlag5555555),AL1(0),AL1(0+bitF6),AL1(0)
Here is the HLASM complaint:
** ASMA065E Unknown type -
** ASMA435I Record 354 in userid1.NEWPGM.PDS(MYNEWPGM) on volume: XXXXXX
000037 00
The DC and each continuation line is in column 16. Why isn't this format
legal? Do I have to format it the following way to be legal as a single DC
statement? I find this format unreadable and thus not maintainable, but the
assembler does not complain about it:
DC A(0),CL7'NAME1 ',X'00',X'09',X'03',AL1(typ_X),AL1X
(0+bitFlag1+bitFlag222+bitFlag3333+bitFlag44444),AL1(0+bX
itFlag5555555),AL1(0),AL1(0+bitF6),AL1(0)
I do know that I can do it the following way as separate DC statements for each
line, but each occurrence of these variables will be slightly different (i.e.,
different bit flags will be set, some in different bytes):
DC A(0),CL7'NAME1 ',X'00',X'09',X'03',AL1(typ_X)
DC AL1(0+bitFlag1+bitFlag222+bitFlag3333+bitFlag44444)
DC AL1(0+bitFlag5555555),AL1(0),AL1(0+bitF6),AL1(0)
Please help cure my ignorance (or memory failure) here.
Peter
