With greater compatibility with existing procedures,
could you do:
STGXXX DSECT
STGPOOL EQU *-4
STGSIZE EQU *-4
STGHEAD DS A
STGCNT DS F
STGERR DS F
Or:
STGXXX DSECT
DS A (Force weird alignment)
STGPOOL EQU *
STGSIZE DS F
STGHEAD DS A
STGCNT DS F
STGERR DS F
Or even:
STGXXX DSECT
ORG *-4 (Does HLASM permit this?)
STGPOOL EQU *
STGSIZE DS F
STGHEAD DS A
STGCNT DS F
STGERR DS F
No rearrangements of existing offsets.
