I don't know what Tony was trying to do, but I suspect he was thwarted
by a lack of generality in symbol substitution. For example:
C CSECT
&STMT SETC 'LABEL DC A(C)'
* . . .
&STMT
END
... doesn't work. HLASM does some lexical analysis prior to substitution
that would better be done in the opposite order.
