I readily agree there was a user error. The developer coded (as above)
"++ SRC() ... SYSLIB(xxxxxxx)", where xxxxxxx was the DDNAME of a
data set with RECFM=FB,LRECL=80, in which the developer (incorrectly)
expected a copy of the assembler source to be stored. I researched
the documentation hoping to find a clear description of what the developer
should have done. Ideally, under the Syntax description in Commands,
there would be something such as:
SYSLIB ... identifies a target load module library into which
APPLY processing links the output from assembly of the
SRC element.
I found nothing of the kind. Looking further, I found the misleading
phrase "target source library". It would be easier to persuade the
developer of the nature of the error if the phrase instead were,
"target load module library".
