How do you run this script?
I tried it under UNIX and MVS as a rexx clist and get all kinds of errors.

$ ccsect
psa.h:: ccsect 1: FSUM7351 not found
edcdsect.rexx: ccsect 4: FSUM7351 not found
$

It is better IMO to use EDCDSECT and create C header files for the system
DSECTS (PSA, ASCB, ASXB, etc), then you don't have to hard code offsets
into your code.

We have a little rexx shell script that we have been using for a dozen
years that invokes the assembler + EDCDSECT.  It is simple to add recipes
to your Makefile for whatever system headers you want.

For example:

psa.h:
echo "  IHAPSA " > asm_temp.s
echo "  END" >> asm_temp.s
edcdsect.rexx asm_temp.s  > psa.h

Then you can do:

#include "psa.h"
struct psa* pPSA = (struct psa*)0;
struct ascb* pASCB = (struct ascb*)pPSA->psaaold;
...

EDCDSECT is not perfect, but it generally works pretty well.
