I assume that this is more like what was intended:
EXTRN ENTRY
IILF R15,ENTRY
We have already prototyped a HLASM change to allow any four-byte
immediate operand to be relocatable like this (in addition to
relative immediate operands, which are already relocatable) and
we think it should work fine, assuming we didn't miss anything.
I personally think it would be a good idea to make this change
available in a PTF.
However, we have not yet received any external requirement for
this, which would help to prioritise the work needed to test it
thoroughly, review the changes, document the changes and do all
the boring administrative stuff to ship it.
We may decide to go ahead and ship something like this anyway,
but it would be helpful if requirements were recorded officially
via the RFE tool: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/
