Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS Users.                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Assembly of DFHCSAD macro fails if      *
  *                      HLASM option COMPAT(CASE) is specified. *
  ****************************************************************
  A CICS assembler program includes the DFHCSAD macro
  to generate a DFHCSADS DSECT.
  The assembly specifies the option COMPAT(CASE), which tells
  the assembler to prohibit the use of lower case characters
  in assembler statements.
  Some assembler statements in DFHCSAD macro have lower case
  characters.
  The assembler reports messages ASMA041E, ASMA158E, ASMA435I
  informing the programmer that an error has been detected.
  The assembly terminates with Return Code 08.
  Additional keywords: MSGASMA041E MSGASMA158E MSGASMA435I RC08
                       HLASM
  

Problem conclusion

• The DFHCSAD macro has been changed to use only upper
  case characters in assembler directives.
