PH48331: METAL C ASM OPERAND BEYOND ACTIVE USING RANGE BY 1 BYTE

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Usage of a long double type in a 64-bit Metal C program is
  generating code that is 1 byte too large for the USING adressing
  range in the code.  When assembling the HLASM, the assembler
  gives:
  
  ================================================================
  $ as --"NOADATA,GOFF(NOADATA)" -o test.o test.s
  
  000C8E 0000 0000  00000  4559   STD  2,@7myvar+8
  
  ASMA034E Operand @7myvar+8 beyond active USING range by 1 bytes
  ASMA435I Record 123 in /home/test/test.s on volume:
  The assemble step ended with rc = 8.
  $
  ================================================================
  

Local fix

• Modify code variable layout.
