Error description
The DSECT utility is generating an unexpected variable definition for an ASM DS statement using a duplication factor of zero, which is used to align data and should not generate a variable definition. HLASM Language Reference - To force alignment http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.1.0/ com.ibm.zos.v2r1.asma400/asmr1021149.htm Use the DS instruction to align the instruction or data that follows, on a specific boundary. You can align the location counter to a doubleword, a fullword, or a halfword boundary by using the correct constant type (for example, D, F, or H) and a duplication factor ofzero. No space is reserved for such an instruction, yet the data that follows is aligned on the correct boundary. DSECT conversion utility>Generation of structures http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.1.0/ com.ibm.zos.v2r1.cbcux01/genstruct.htm?lang=en === TESTCASE === TEST DSECT FIELD1 DS H TESTEND DS 0F fullword aligned end END === INCORRECT OUTPUT === struct TEST { short int FIELD1; unsigned char _filler1[2]; int TESTEND; /* fullword aligned end */ }; - The 'int TESTEND;' variable is unexpected
Local fix
Manually edit out unexpected ASM
