Issue/Introduction

If there is an assembler error in JOB03 of the install, step ASM#SVC, the actual error may be suppressed by PRINT OFF directives in the source

During the install process, the SVC assembly in JOB 03 may assemble #GSISVCX. If there is an assembly error, the job may fail with only something like this to flag the error:

4394(L1:IKJTCB,317), 4929(L1:IKJTCB,853)

Environment

Release: All supported releases.

Cause

The identified statements are suppressed by a PRINT OFF in the macro source:

00000010 1394+SVXBLKBG EQU X'010' JCT 1395+ PRINT OFF 5406+ PRINT ON

Resolution

In order to determine the cause of the error, manually edit the #GSISVCX source member in the CAGJMAC library, changing the PRINT OFF immediately after the SVXBLKBG label to PRINT ON, and re-run JOB03. The assembler error will then be visible.
