Undefined symbol - xxxxxxxx

Explanation

A symbol in the operand field has not been defined, that is, used in the name field of another statement, the operand field of an EXTRN or WXTRN, or, in the case of a literal, the operand of a previously processed machine instruction statement.

System action

A machine instruction or an address constant assembles as zero. In a DC, DS, or DXD statement or in a duplication-factor or length- modifier expression, the operand in error and the following operands are ignored. In an EQU statement, zero is assigned as the value of the undefined symbol. Any other instruction is not processed.

Programmer response

Define the symbol, or remove the references to it.

Severity

8
