Did you actually experience this message yesterday?

What did it substitute for "keyword"   If no substitution, I's call it a bug
rather than a design deficiency.

But I do wish that when SMP/E reports a syntax error it would print a ruler
with a pointer indicating the exact point of error, rather than a column number.
This will be aggravated by "//SMPCNTL  DD  *,SYMBOLS=..."
