>> Correct me if I'm wrong (John Ehrman),
but I thought that IBM once upon a time,
way back when they started to create mnemonics longer than 5 characters...
I thought they said
their new limit was going to be seven characters.
Well... "VSTRCZFS".

I don't remember any such claim, but I agree that the potential for
collisions between mnemonics and macro names has increased. That's why
HLASM added the operation-code suffixes ("tags") :ASM and :MAC so you can
explicitly specify which mnemonic resolution you want.
