  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Assembler programs that use macro CMQA  *
  *                      get assembly error ASMA074E illegal     *
  *                      syntax when assembler option            *
  *                      COMPAT(CASE) is used.                   *

  ****************************************************************
  Assembler programs that use the V710 version of macro
  CMQA and the assembler option COMPAT(CASE) get the following
  error:
  * ASMA074E Illegal syntax in expression - X'414d51214e45575f5345
             5353494f4e5f434f5252454c4944'
  The reason for the assembly error in macro CMQA is that a
  hexadecimal constant is defined with lower case characters:
  
  MQCI_NEW_SESSION DC X'414d51214e45575f53455353494f4e5f434f525245
                        4c4944'
  To bypass the problem, reassemble the program with option
  COMPAT(NOCASE).
