Problem conclusion

  • The extraneous bits will be properly ignored.
    
    The following publication changes are needed for this solution:
    1. SA23-1370  z/OS MVS Programming: Assembler Services
                     Reference IAR-XCT
    2. SA23-1375  z/OS MVS Programming: Authorized Assembler
                     Services Reference SET-WTO
    The description of return code x'1C' is being removed
    from the
    description of the STORAGE macro.
