Your suggestion wasn't "summarily dismissed" -- it's just that it would require substantial internal modifications to the assembler. We don't (and didn't) have sufficient resources to do it. Perhaps we didn't reply tactfullly. (2) Michael Butz asked >If I have to two dsects with the same label and I qaulify the usage of the dsect with a label on the using shouldn't that do away with above error message In your example, the DSects had different names, but each contained a field with the same name. Currently, HLASM can support only a single instance of an internal symbol, so using the same symbol in two different DSects won't work. Sorry! Regards... John
