ASMA042W

Length attribute of symbol is unavailable; default=1 - xxxxxxxx
Explanation
This statement has a length attribute reference to a symbol, and
the length attribute of the symbol is unavailable for one of the following
reasons: 
The symbol has not been previously defined.
The type attribute of a symbol is U. 
A symbol defined by an
EQU instruction has a type attribute of U, however, a reference to
its length does not produce this message.

The length cannot be determined due to lookahead processing. If
a statement that defines a symbol, and references a length attribute,
causes lookahead processing, the symbol might not be assigned a length
attribute until after lookahead processing is complete. References
to the same length attribute in subsequent conditional assembly statements,
before lookahead processing completes, might cause this message to
be produced.

System action
The L' attribute defaults to 1.

Programmer response
Ensure that the symbol is defined. If you suspect the error might
be caused because of lookahead processing, restructure your code so
that the symbol is defined before it is referenced.
