Martin Truebner noted:

   Here is my sore point
      MVI  CHAR,C'a'   move in a lower case a
   works.

   But
      MVI CHAR,CA'a'   move in an ASCII lower case a
   nor
      MVI CHAR,CE'a'   we want an EBCDIC lower a regardless of codepage
   DO NOT WORK.

   I understand the reasoning, but I have yet to find a codepage (in ASCII
   or in EBCDIC) where anything result in a two (or more) character-code.

Using non-EBCDIC character self-defining terms requires a different pair of
options: TRANSLATE (which defaults to ASCII, but you can create any
translate table you like) and COMPAT(TRANSDT) <I think -- memory is a bit
fuzzy on the precise form>.

TYPECHECK is used for entirely different purposes.
