It is documented, but you have to read between the lines. The literal does follow the EQU, but the EQU refers to the length attribute of a DC that follows the literal. "Recursion" See "Recursion". -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

If the length of TKJSONPF was not known when the EQU was encountered, resolution is deferred, which means that the definition has not yet taken effect. There are other similar errors where something is documented as needing to be predefined, but it also needs to be resolved. I've already made a note that we should try to clarify this in the message explanations. Jonathan Scott, HLASM IBM Hursley, UK
