It doesn't. I suspect you have a logic error in your assembler program. But
the response you describe sounds like you specified SUBENTRY = * which means
return all subentries in the selected entries. Regarding the first entry of
the ZONEINDEX, remember it is a list of entries, so perhaps your program is not
traversing the list correctly.

That is not true at all. Here's the result when I do what you state:
ZONE= GLOBAL
ENTRY= GLOBALZONE
SUBENTRY= GLOBAL
GIM31200E ** AN UNDEFINED SUBENTRY TYPE OF GLOBAL WAS SPECIFIED ON THE SUBENTRY
PARAMETER.
