Well if that's the design, then the design is an ass. But I don't see how that's the case, as the manual says otherwise.
I finally found Robert Ngan's nearly identical post from 2 years ago, and several older ones, too. There was one reference that implied IBM won't fix it because of "compatibility" issues. Frankly, that sounds like a cop-out; it would be more understandable to just say that it's not a high enough priority yet. And IBM hasn't bothered to update the manual either. Sheesh. Google was not my friend today. Apparently, the assembler-list archives aren't Googleable. Is there an outstanding SHARE req. for this? sas On Tue, Dec 20, 2016 at 11:33 AM, Paul Gilmartin < 00000014e0e4a59b-dmarc-requ...@listserv.uga.edu> wrote: > On 2016-12-20, at 09:13, Steve Smith wrote: > > > I'm getting an error on a dependent USING apparently just because it's > out > > of the normal 12-bit offset range... > > > > This seems to be a HLASM bug to me. > > > No. WAD.
