HLASM Programmer's Guide
SC26-4941-06

Term expected; text is unclassifiable - xxxxxxxx

Explanation

One of these errors has occurred:
  • A term was expected, but the character encountered is not one that starts a term (letter, number, =, +, -, *).
  • A letter and an apostrophe did not introduce a valid term; the letter is not L, C, G (DBCS option), X, or B.

System action

Another message accompanies an assembler statement. A machine instruction assembles as zero.

Programmer response

Check for missing punctuation, a wrong letter on a self-defining term, a bad attribute request, a leading comma, or a dangling comma. The length attribute is the only one accepted here. If a defined, scale, type, or integer attribute is needed, use a SETA statement and substitute the variable symbol where the attribute is needed.

Severity

8
