Re: Return code 8 from assembler no messages

[John P. Hartmann]

The message was issued in a section of code that was PRINT OF.  Refer to 
the diagnostics cross reference.

I did a flag(8) as I got return code 8 and that produced the messages

Of course if you know when the last good assemble was, and what was changed, you
could do the "one-line-at-a-time" remove and assemble process.

Would PRINT OFF suppress error messages too?

It should; otherwise there's no way to locate the problem.

Re: Return code 8 from assembler no messages

[Lizette Koehler]

If you cannot find a reason and cannot share the code, I would say an SR to IBM
would be helpful.
So unless there is an ASMA or MNOTE you did not see, you probably need IBM's
Help and it might be an aparable issue.
