If I were willing to spend the dollars to go to an IBM shareholders
meeting, I would like to embarrass them abut this and the high
reliability of the service web-site. Seeing the grandchildren has
higher priority on my money.

Thanks for the tip.
Is the ASMA033I message correct? Could it be ASM033I (without the second A)
Yes, ASMA033I is correct. Google it.
ASMAnnnc messages belong to the High Level Assembler.
ASMnnnnnc message belong to the "Auxiliary Storage Manager".

I am doing this with my Android Phone:
In the area where you typed in the "IEF540I" and pressed "GO" you
will have under the search box "Local | More" Press the "More"
side and it will give you the list of message sets that it thinks it is in.
I did the IEF540I after I had already downloaded the z/OS MVS
1.13 set and it did not find it, but it presented me with the
z/OS MVS 2.1 & 2.2 options, so I downloaded the 2.2 version and
it gave me the message info.

There is a phone app called IBM Doc buddy. Try it, you might like it.
Tried it. Don't much like it at all!
Ok, I've just now downloaded and installed Doc Buddy (Android
version). And the best I can say about it is, whoever designed
the UI really didn't put much effort into it. I mean seriously,
doesn't IBM put these things out for real world testing first?
Then do they even listen to the feedback???
#1) So I installed the app, and of course the very first thing I
did was type in some message ids. Nothing too esoteric. just
basic ancient stuff like, I don't know, do you think it'd be
able to find IEF450I??? Nope... ASMA033I? Nope... Anything? Nope
nope nopity nope!
#2) It turns out you then have to download... I don't know what
IBM calls them... I'll just call them "message sets". These are
organized by component. But there's no mention of this, no
startup tips, tricks or just general heads-up is put in front of
you.. Nothing. You install the app, and you're on your own.
[Pro-tip: Go to the "Component" page.]
#3) So once you've figured you need to download the message
definitions, the next thing you need to know is to which
component a particular message belongs. Quick... does anybody
know what IEF540I belongs to? 'Cause apparently I don't. I've
downloaded a bunch, and while other messages are now findable,
the IEF messages aren't. (At least not yet.)
#4) Maybe that message set hasn't downloaded yet. It's hard to
tell because there is no status display. The individual messages
sets are hidden in dropdowns that have the very annoying habit
of going back into hiding on you rather quickly...
#5) And that's another thing. The components list keeps jumping
around on you because dropdowns that you've opened up
spontaneously close causing the page to jump up, jump down, jump
whatever. Come on guys! Can't you stabilize a display long
enough for somebody to touch a button????
#6) Oh and the msgid entry field... So you've got your keyboard
open and you're typing away, and you decide to clear the entire
field. But when you do so, Boom! the keyboard disappears on you. Why????
#7) Googling a msgid turns out to be just plain easier. I have
not tried very many IBM apps, but so far every one I've tried
feels like it's been written by amateurs! My kid grandson can do
better than this!
Ok, I've got the IEFxxx messages now. They were where they
belonged, it just took a long time for the z/OS MVS messages set
to download. Good thing I've got a nice fat pipe.
But I still don't have the ASMAxxx messages yet. They're
apparently not in the z/OS MVS component, and I don't see an
HLASM component available. Really?
