Program type error - xxxxxxxx

Explanation

The program type subfield on a DC or DS assembler instruction 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 program type subfield is ignored, and the program type of the DC 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.

Severity

8
