Yeah, I whined on IBM-MAIN on Dec. 27 about not being able to use a relocatable address in LLILF. Same answer. It does not work because ... it does not work.

DC supports a whole bunch of stuff that immediate operands do not. Sometimes, you just have to ORG *-2 (or 4), and DC it. Be careful with f-word-aligned data! e.g.: CNOP 2,4 LLILF R15,* ORG *-4 DC V(EXTRTN1) BASSM R14,R15 AFAIK, you could use VL4 and skip the CNOP. Anyway, I don't think there's any alternative to the above that doesn't use more storage or instructions. Yet it's illegal ;-). sas On Wed, Feb 22, 2017 at 4:18 PM, Melvyn Maltz <[email protected]> wrote: > Immediate operands won't accept a duplication factor...why not ? > Can't find a reason in the HLASM manual > > Try these... > CFI R1,4X'FF' > CFI R1,X'FFFFFFFF' > CFI R1,-1 > AHI R1,2X'FF' > AHI R1,X'FFFF' > AHI R1,-1 > > Melvyn Maltz > -- sas
