SC26-4941-06

ACTR counter exceeded - xxxxxxxx

Explanation

The conditional assembly loop counter (set by an ACTR statement) has been decremented to zero. The ACTR counter is decremented by one each time an AIF or AGO branch is processed successfully. The counter is halved for most errors encountered by the macro editor phase of the assembler.

System action

Any macro expansion stops. If the ACTR statement is in the source program, the assembly stops.

Programmer response

Check for an AIF/AGO loop or another type of error. (You can use the MHELP facility, described in Diagnosing assembly errors and MHELP sample macro trace and dump, to trace macro definition logic.) If there is no error, increase the initial count on the ACTR instruction.

Severity

12
