COPY disaster

Explanation

The assembler copied a library member (processed a COPY statement) while looking ahead for attribute references. However, when the complete text was analyzed, the COPY operation code had been changed by an OPSYN statement or read by an AREAD statement, and the COPY should not have been processed. (Lookahead phase ignores OPSYN statements.) This message follows the first record of the COPY code.

System action

The library member assembles. If it included an ICTL statement, the format of that ICTL is used.

Programmer response

Move COPY statements, or OPSYN statements that modify the meaning of COPY, to a point in the assembly before the entry into lookahead mode (that is, before ASMA006I Lookahead invoked).

Severity

16
