Turns out, I didn't have the CBT library in the assembler SYSLIB concatenation 
to resolve the STRING64 macro.  After I added that
it assembled fine.  Not sure why I didn't get macro not found???

It's interesting that this message is not in the "Version 1 Release 6"
book SC26-4941-08 (for all the good that it does these days to quote a 
particular version of an IBM manual...) KC finds the message (in a VSE 
document, it claims), but its own link to the z/OS doc is broken.

In my experience, messages like this one relating to out of memory or workfile 
space are almost always due not to the size or complexity of the program being 
assembled, but to looping in conditional assembly (open code or macros).

Is there any SYSPRINT output other than this message?
