Much better solution is what (ITIR) Ed J. uses ... a MACRO called MVCSL (or so) which means MVC in sender length.
I'm surprised you remember this! It was something I accidentally left in a sample code fragment in a SHARE presentation years ago. We call the macro MVC2: MVC using the length of the second operand. We also have MVCX: generate as many MVCs as needed to copy variables of any length without using MVCL. (Yes, I realize MVCX is the name of a millicode mnemonic, but I think the chances of that instruction being exposed to 'normal' code is unlikely.) We also have XCX, OCX, and others. I just realized we are missing MVC2X!
