Excellent! Just stuff that into an ignorable dsect, and there you go! 
I never thought of this method. Very creative.

Based on a technique I use to reserve space large enough for (say) X, Y or
Z:

BUFFER   DS    0X
         DS    (L'X)X
         ORG   BUFFER
         DS    (L'Y)X
         ORG   BUFFER
         DS    (L'Z)X
         ORG   ,
BUFLEN   EQU   *-BUFFER

So MAX(Y,Y,Z) is BUFLEN
Where X, Y and Z are equate, just omit the L'
