Loc Object Code Addr1 Addr2 Stmt Source Statement HLASM R6.0 2014/12/08 0001C5 734 DBCS1 DC G'42C142C2' ** ASMA206E G-type constant must not contain single-byte data - 42C142C2' ** ASMA435I Record 32 in SYSJF.SYSJFB.JOB02015.D0000101.? on volume: -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Assembler List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John Ehrman Sent: Monday, December 08, 2014 4:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Assembly of G-Type constants not working for me It's probably because the notations ".A" and ".B" represent the DBCS codings for those double-byte characters, not the EBCDIC characters "." and "A". If you can enter data in hex, try assembling G'42C142C2' (where I wrote the hex representations of each byte) -- this is the DBCS representation of "AB" Regards... John
