To make things more readable, then I would recommend using LOCTR.
Define one location counter for the code, and another one for the data
areas
a csect
static loctr , You will need to set up addressability to this area
code loctr
.
.
.
clc chk_string,0(r6)
static loctr ,
chk_string dc x'58f0 0014 58ff'
code loctr ,
.
.
.
* or for an execute
EX R15,Execute_target
static loctr
Execute_target clc operand1(0),operand2
code loctr
One big advantage of this technique is that the USING environment for the
target is the same as the EXecute instruction.
Hope that this helps
