Paul Gilmartin asked:
Does DC not require a nominal value? I know it used to.
No nominal value needed if the duplication factor is zero.
Do I remember correctly that it used to? Assembler VS?
Assembler H? I was told back then that (part of) the
nominal value was used if padding was necessary for
alignment? What does HLASM do in this case: Leave the
padding bytes undefined, as DC would do? Pad with
an assembler-selected pattern? Other (but what)?
If the programmer specifies the (optional) nominal value,
will that be used as the padding pattern?
