With FLAG(I,I) which became the default at the same time as DBCS, the
message *does* appear exactly AFTER the line (inserted by the
preprocessor) which follows the originally coded line. As the mesage
also tells the column where the problem exists, it should be pretty
obvious where the problem was. (Again - or at least it would be to
me)
Okay, so you look at column 50 in the listing and you see a blank? Now
what? It would help if the message included the offending literal
text, in hexadecimal, and explained SI and SO for the benefit of those
who have no reason to understand DBCS. If I didn't know what DBCS was
I would have found the message to be totally opaque, and as is I still
wouldn't have known what the offending data were.
While column 50 might look blank iff you are using a printed listing
(a rarity in the days of syntax highlighting editors and a waste of
trees) -- the surrounding columns would have something like:
Move 'a 0d 2 ic$k34 d pd e,x d' to DFHEI1234
That should be enough for anyone to realize it is a translator problem.
