Issue/Introduction

It is possible that an assembly of an IDMS module gets an error such as this:-

** ASMA057E Undefined operation code - #MOPT/SPLEVEL
** ASMA435I Record 143 in xxxx.R190.CAGJMAC(#MOPT) on volume

Environment

Release: All supported releases.

Cause

SYS1.MACLIB is missing from the assembly's SYSLIB ddname concatenation.

Resolution

In this example, the code issues an SPLEVEL macro call expecting that macro to be found in SYS1.MACLIB. If it isn't, then the SPLEVEL is treated as an assembler instruction and fails, because it isn't one.

Be sure that there is a SYS1.MACLIB in SYSLIB ...

//SYSLIB   DD DSN=xxxx.R190.CAGJMAC,DISP=SHR
//         DD DSN=SYS1.MACLIB,DISP=SHR
