PI25804: CONVERSION OF EQU STATEMENTS BY CCNEDSCT UTILITY TO #DEFINE IS NOT CORRECT.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Conversion of EQU statements to #define is not correct. Example:
  
  AAPWB_RQ$EYE    EQU  C'APWB'
  
  should be generated as
  
  #define AAPWB_RQ_d_EYE      "'APWB'"
  
  but the CCNEDSCT utility generates:
  
  #define AAPWB_RQ_d_EYE      0xC1D7E6C2
  
  The APAR fix details:
  
  1. The fix provides the correct behavior if the user specifies
  EQU(DEFS).
  2. The EQU(DEF) will continue to have original behavior. The
  EQU(DEFS) is equivalent to EQU(DEF) with the exception of
  generating string literals as opposed to hex values for EQU asm
  instruction with C type operand greater then 1 byte.
  3. EQU(DEFS) can be specified together with other sub-options
  BIT and BIFS but not with DEF.
