Dear colleagues, I've been doing research on Unicode and related stuff and found a problem while trying to assemble a simple program that uses G-type constants data. It all began when trying the GINIT parameter of the CICS BMS DFHMDF macro.
The problem is that even a simple DC like those proposed in the HLASM Programmer's Reference do not work as expected and I always get error "ASMA206E G-type constant must not contain single-byte data - xxxxxxxx". Examples in the programmer's guide look like below. DBCS1 DC G'<.A.B.C>' DBCS2 DC GL10'<.A.B.C>' DBCS3 DC GL4'<.A.B.C>' They all generate the same error. HLASM R6.0 (PTF UK71661). Anyone can provide a hint? I'm thinking of reporting this to IBM (after having tried this several times and combinations), but I may be doing something wrong. Thanks in advance for your help.
