My compiler says the length of the EQU must be an absolute value when I use wklen+8 on it.

You've changed your intent. Jonathan and I based our suggestions on your original example. LV=WKLEN+8 changes the situation. Jonathan stipulated "&LEN contains a single symbol" which I interpret to mean it can't handle the "+8". Let's assume it does handle it. You then have a problem with LV=WKLEN+WK2LEN which can be worked around by splitting the text. I suggested using EQU length. If I remember correctly, I've used LENGTH=L'WKLEN+72+L'WK2LEN in the past and should be resolvable by SETA. If this is not acceptable for your situation, then you'll have to wait for the PTFs or change your requirements. > MACRO >&LABEL WORK &LEN=0 >&LABEL DS XL(&LEN) > MNOTE *,'LEN=&LEN' > MEND > WORK LEN=wklen >Wklen equ 32 You're dealing with 2 languages (Assembler & Macro). Your WKLEN EQU is not resolvable by the macro and must be moved before the macro call. The assumption was that you only needed this for MNOTE.
