Really?  If the length is currently defined to be 1, then it seems to me
that any code currently using it would be either (a) broken, or (b)
deliberately expecting a value of 1, and therefore unnecessarily obscure.
Of these, (a) seems much more likely, and thus the proposed change to
HLASM might actually help.  I don't discount the possibility of (b), mind
you...
