What's wrong with DS V(foo) or DC V(foo)? AFAIK a VCON has always required a relocatable symbol rather than an arbitrary expression.

A DS V requires some value: TEST DSECT TESTVCON DS 1VL4(DUMMY) or TESTVCON DS 1AL4(*-*) [TESTVCON DS 1VL4(*-*) generates assembler error message] Either way you get the 4-byte placeholder, but is there a preferred way (or other way) of doing this? Thank you.
