Hello Abe, Hello Tom,
let me clarify the things-
... found some syntax errors
some is two
one case is this: 2153 L228 DC C'' ASMA068S Length error - ' ASMA435I Record 2058 in SYSIPT on volume:
which is IMHO a case that makes no sense anyway. Why would someone need a fields with fixed content of a length of 0.
I had a closer look at the generated code. This will create problems - if not now but at a later point. A length of 0 in an MVC (which is something some people code for an MVC which is subject to an EX) if not subject of an EX results in an move of one char....NOT GOOD
The generating program needs fixing
the other:
C37F156 DC P'00000-1' / Ln#- 272 258 / 0002025 ASMA074E Illegal syntax in expression - P'00000-1' ASMA104W Statement processing incomplete ** ASMA435I Record 2008 in SYSIPT on volume:
This is a flaw in z390 which apparently allows the sign anywhere instead of only in pos 1. But again- it needs fixing in the generating program.
The HLASM is at (PTF UK80713)
