PN69049: COMPILER ERRORS ASMA012S ASMA011E ASMA106E WITH INVOLVED E.MACROS

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• HLASM compiler messages ASMA012S MSGASMA011E MSGASMA106E when
  trying to assemble CICS MAP DSECTS with user macros involving
  E.DFHxxx macros.
  

Local fix

• Suggested C/TEAM fix works fine: add, in EXEC ASMA90 parm, the
  option LIBMAC.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of HLASM librarian exits, for example, *
  *                 users of the VSE EDECK exit (EDECKXIT) who   *
  *                 assemble edited macros.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Binary zeros are printed in the DSN     *
  *                      field of the macro and copy cross       *
  *                      reference summary for macros that are   *
  *                      read by the VSE EDECKXIT (or any other  *
  *                      exit that pads the DSN with nulls when  *
  *                      returning it to the assembler).         *
  *                      Incorrect MSGASMA012 errors can be      *
  *                      produced.  It is also possible for an   *
  *                      ABEND to occur in ASMA1P, ASMA1K, or    *
  *                      ASMA1R, or unpredictable results.       *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: APPLY RECOMMENDED PTF                        *
  ****************************************************************
  An HLASM LIBEXIT (such as the VSE supplied EDECKXIT for reading
  E-decks) can return binary zeros in the DSN information.  This
  can cause length calculations to be incorrect and comparisons of
  DSN's to fail.
  
  These errors can cause data overflow at the end of work file
  blocks, leading to ABENDs or unpredictable results.
  

Problem conclusion

• A DSN supplied by an exit will have unprintable characters (less
  than X'40') replaced with blanks.
