I want to define a large field e.g.

Long1    DS    BL1504            What I want

but you can't defined fields longer than 256 bytes, so instead I did:

Long2    EQU   *,1504,C'B'       What I need to code
         DS    (L'Long2)B        ...

Is there any real difference between Long1 and Long2, if not then why can't
I use the simpler Long1 syntax?
