This assembles w/o error:
LENGTH EQU 12
MVC APPLES,=CL(LENGTH)' '
APPLES DS CL16
This fails:
MVC APPLES,=CL(LENGTH2)' '
LENGTH2 EQU 12
APPLES DS CL16
with this message:
ASMA151E Literal expression modifiers must be absolute and predefined -
=CL(LENGTH2)' '
Dear PGM=ASMA90, could I ask you to look ahead, just a bit, to find an (as yet)
undefined symbol ? You looked ahead for APPLES, so why not LENGTH2?
And when you tell me why you can't, might I ask you to overcome that obstacle
to help your customers produce the most concise and clear programs possible?
We're all in this together.
Best regards,
Richard Zierdt
