Hi there,

I am sure Jonathan will confirm...but yes, even byte literals will be on an even boundary, they are sorted

If you code it and use LARL, you'll get an error if not on an even boundary

=CL5 may not align, a frequent source of 'it worked then but not now' syndrome

Yes, it's a 5-byte literal extended to 6 to keep the LARL happy
Does giving a character constant even length guarantee even
alignment?  I'm thinking of such as:

       DC. 0H'0'
EVEN  DC  C'?'
ODD   DC  C'ABCDE-'

Are the rules special for literals?  What if you want a
speciic length?:

     LARL R3,=CL5'ABCDE-'

My head hurts,
