PH47992: DSECT UTILITY OUTPUT MISSING #DEFINE VALUES WHEN USING DUPLICATION FACTOR ZERO FIELDS

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The output C code from the DSECT Utility is missing #define
  statements meant to represent EQU statements from the
  original HLASM input.  For example:
  
      MYNUMB EQU   X'80'     // WILL BE MISSING IN DSECT OUTPUT
  
  
  The issue appears to occur when duplication-factor-zero fields
  are present in the HLASM.  For example:
  
      MYVALUE DS    0B
  
  
  The issue only occurs in the default 'NOLEGACY' mode.  Running
  the utility in 'LEG' or 'LEGACY' mode generates the #defines as
  expected.
  

Local fix

• Use 'LEG' mode
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Consecutive zero duplication factor fields   *
  *                 with following EQU(s) statements and using   *
  *                 NOLEGACY option.                             *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The EQU(s) following two or more        *
  *                      consecutive zero duplication factor DS  *
  *                      fields are not generating #define       *
  *                      statements. This only occurs in         *
  *                      NOLEGACY mode.                          *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Install the PTF.                             *
  ****************************************************************
  The second consecutive zero duplication factor DS field
  generates nested C struct and ignores the EQU(s) following it.
  

Problem conclusion

• The second consecutive zero duplication factor DS field will
  generate regular C struc member and EQU(s) associated with it
  will generate expected #define statements.
  

Temporary fix
