This is a bug which was fixed by HLASM APAR PH08424 in Feb 2019. The problem was only likely to occur after the TRUNC support fixes in APAR PH06572. The existing code for handling zero-length values was in error in bypassing the logic to initialise the constant value to spaces (and also in bypassing the logic to translate those spaces to ASCII for an ASCII constant) but before the TRUNC changes the value area was likely to contain blanks anyway by chance.
