OK, if not "baseless", what would be an accurate yet easy to type word or
phrase? I'm willing to change terminology to be more accurate. In my usual
coding, I have something like:
PGM CEEENTRY ...,BASE=R11
DROP R11
LARL R11,CONSTANTS
USING (CONSTANTS,ECONSTANTS),R11
...
CONSTANTS DS 0D
... DEFINE MY CONSTANT VALUES
LTORG *
ECONSTANTS EQU *-1
END PGM
I use LARL, but an LA or LAY could be used, if placed before the DROP. Oh, and
since I can't get CEEENTRY to use an RSECT, I also use the RENT assembler
option to help flag mistakes in where I define a variable.
