ASMA182E Operand 2 must be absolute, 0-65535; ignored
Explanation
If there is another message with this statement, this message is
advisory. If this message appears alone, the second operand of an
EQU statement contains one of the following errors:
- It is not an absolute term or expression whose value is within the range of 0 to 65,535
- It contains a symbol that is not previously defined
- It is circularly defined
- It is too complex; for example, it causes an arithmetic overflow during evaluation
- It is derived from an absolute value
- It contains an expression that cannot be fully evaluated
System action
Operand 2 is ignored, and the length attribute of the first operand is used. If the third operand is present, it processes normally.
Programmer response
Correct the error if it exists. Paired relocatable symbols in different LOCTRs, even though in the same CSECT, are not valid where an absolute, predefined value is required.
