This assembles fine for me. 
          SAVE (14,12),,'''&SYSPARM &SYSDATE &SYSTIME'''                        
+         B     24(0,15)                          BRANCH AROUND ID       01-SAVE
+         DC    AL1(19)                           LENGTH OF IDENTIFIER   01-SAVE
+         DC    CL8''' 02/27'                     IDENTIFIER             01-SAVE
+         DC    CL8'/13 10.0'                     IDENTIFIER             01-SAVE
+         DC    CL3'4'''                          IDENTIFIER             01-SAVE
+         STM   14,12,12(13)                      SAVE REGISTERS         01-SAVE

What assembler options are you using?
