ASMA970U

Statement complexity exceeded, break the statement into segments,
and rerun the assembly
Explanation
The statement is too complex to be evaluated by the macro generator
phase of the assembler. It overflowed the evaluation work area of
the assembler. Normally, there is no assembler malfunction; the statement
can be corrected and the program reassembled successfully.

System action
A special abnormal termination dump (High Level Assembler interrupt
and diagnostic dump) follows the message. The statement causing termination
is SETA, SETB, SETC, AGO, or AIF. The dump does not indicate which
statement caused termination; however, it might show the last statement
generated in the macro. The dump might also include contents of the
assembler registers and work areas and other status information for
use by IBM or your assembler maintenance programmers in determining
the cause of the termination. However, it is not needed unless the
error persists. This information could be helpful in diagnosing and
fixing an assembler error.

Programmer response
Check the statement that caused termination. Rewrite the statement
or split it into two or more statements. Reassemble the program; it
should assemble correctly. However, if the error persists, there might
be an assembler malfunction. Save the abnormal termination dump, the
assembly listing (if one was produced), and the input sources, and
contact IBM for support.
