Any case where the DXD has to be deferred (because it cannot be resolved at the time it is processed during the first pass) will trigger the problem. If anything that might affect the location counter could not be resolved immediately, such as an earlier forward reference, then the address of ENDCMD would need to be resolved by "interlude" processing after the first pass completes, after which the DXD could be successfully resolved. As the alignment of a DXD section is automatically determined by its contents, I don't think that check should be able to fail. (Even LQ in a DXD has a valid representation in object code format, so we allow it). We already know how to fix it, so when we receive the support case we should be able to respond very rapidly. (We could obviously fix it without a support case, but it is easier to give it higher priority when there is a support case). Jonathan Scott, HLASM IBM Hursley, UK
