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.
