Resolution

The assembly error ASMA044E means that the //SYSLIB DD used in the APPLY procedure doesn’t contain the z/OS system macro libraries, and macros such as $REGS cannot be resolved.

To solve this problem it is necessary to include the SHASMAC operating system library in the SYSLIB DD concatenation.
