Works for this case. But what if I have some other, less easily said, need. Such as copying R0.56-63 to R1.1-8? (higher half word of lower word to bits 1-8 of R1). I guess I was really wanting a "symbolic"notation, rather than actual English. It is also why I tend to use the characters <- instead of = for assignment and == instead of = for comparison. IIRC, I picked that up from WATFIV. Or maybe <- from the APL assignment character, which looks similar to <-, but is a single glyph.
In any case, I'm getting some nice advice. Actually my original thought, not expressed, was to do something even with dis-contiguous bit assignments. E.g. R0[0,5,27-30]<-R2[6,9,12-15], but that is not a very likely assignment in HLASM, I admit.

If this had been an actual emergency, do you really think we'd stick around to tell you? Maranatha! <>< John McKown
