OK, so I've decided to use the TROT instruction to do arbitrary length
display hexadecimal conversion. It seems that the translate table must be
aligned on a page boundary and I found that to align on a 4K boundary, I
should use the binder PAGE statement for the csect and specify:
ORG ,4096
before the translate table, but this ORG fails with:
ASMA500W Requested alignment exceeds section alignment
unless I specify SECTALGN(4096), which in turn cannot be used without GOFF,
which I'm not sure I want to use.
I've coded around the issue by replacing the ORG with:
DC ((((*-&SYSECT)+4095)/4096)*4096-(*-&SYSECT))X'00'
but I don't see why the assembler doesn't allow general use of ORG ,4096
when it's just the equivalent of trhe above.
Maybe it should automatically generate the equivalent of a binder PAGE
statement for sections containing ORG ,4096
