Typically you would use CLC MYSTRING,=A(CODE) but this is a bit doubtful... It tempts the beginner into thinking that WRONG EQU C'ABCDE' CLC MYSTRING,=A(WRONG) might work, and it won't.
OTOH, since MYSTRING is apparently 5 bytes long, this SHOULD work: WRONG EQU C'ABCDE' CLC MYSTRING,=AL5(WRONG) Although you need to go AMODE 64 since this constant needs 33 bits to be stored and thus is beyond 32-bit addressing.
