Unfortunately, these are equivalent only if running on a machine that supports LLILF. z/OS still supports machines that do not. Many (all?) of the fullword immediate instructions fall into this category. If there ever is another architecture level set, this is the sort of update that we would start pursuing (likely not religiously, but as we encounter specific instances or such instances are brought to our attention that are felt to be important). A fair number of the macros that generate things such as above a) at least react nicely to inclusion of IEABRC so that you don't need codereg addressability b) react to SYSSTATE ARCHLVL=1 or =2 to generate a load of a literal Peter Relson z/OS Core Technology Design
