That's expected.. SIE aka 'Start Interpretive Execution' is the instruction at the heart of XA, S/390 and z/Architecture virtualization (and which doesn't exist in S/370) is very unlikely to be found in good ole IFOX ! <snippage> This is part of the IEF (Interpretive Execution Facility). I can't remember if it was started with VM/HPO or if it didn't actually show up until 370/XA. I do know that Amdahl had specific VM assists in Macrocode, but that was a long time ago in another life. At any rate, I think you had to have ASM-H (the immediate predecessor to HL-ASM) to have certain of these instructions (such as some of the B2xx instructions to allow you to communicate with the service processor). And you have hit upon another problem. Certain instructions used in macros from the F Assembler days won't work in the H-ASM or HL-ASM environments (macro debug that F had is not supported by the new assemblers).
