This is hardware specific -- it varies by your z model level (ie. z14 vs z15, etc.). Normally the CBU records are preconfigured in the SE and activated by command. IME the phone call is when you are outside the bounds of the preconfigured CBU records ... so there is a financial cost incurred.

But breaking lines in that fashion diminishes the usefulness of line numbers reported in ASMA435I messages. On my system, ASMA435I messages for errors in open code (rather than macro processing) give a value of 0 for the record number, so I am not sure how useful that is. As Ed

Good point. Just tried it without FLOWASM and the source line record number is correct (even if the code is in traditional format). Wondering if this is a bug with HLASM or a side-effect of having one or more of INX, LIBX and PRX defined in ASMAOPT. I will try and find out. Rob.
