APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When opening an assembler program in RDz (System z LPEX editor)
  with an ACB macro coded like the one the follows,  RDz produces
  an error.
  MYACB  ACB     AM=VSAM,EXLST=BGIKTDRX,MACRF=(KEY,SEQ,DIR,OUT)
  
  This macro assembles without error on the mainframe.
  
  In RDz, the following error is displayed:
  
  Error: Invalid value DIR specified with MACRF.  Valid values are
  SKP.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• The local syntax checker for assembler in System z LPEX Editor
  was not handling the MACRF keywoerd parameter for the ACB
  instruction correctly, issuing a syntax errors when values for
  the parameter were not specified in a specific order.
  

Problem conclusion

• The local syntax checker for assembler in System z LPEX Editor
  will now accept keyword parameter values, regardless of the
  order they are specified in.
