ASMA176E

Operand 4 must be absolute, 1-4 bytes; ignored
Explanation
If there is another message with this statement, this message is
advisory. If this message appears alone, the fourth operand of an
EQU statement contains one of the following errors: 
It is not an absolute term or expression whose value is from 1
to 4 bytes in size
It contains a symbol that is not previously defined
It is circularly defined
It is too complex. For example, it causes an arithmetic overflow
during evaluation.

System action
The fourth operand is ignored, and the program type of the EQU
statement is set to binary zeros.

Programmer response
Correct the error if it exists. Paired relocatable symbols in different
LOCTRs, even though in the same CSECT, are not valid where an absolute,
predefined value is required.
