Yes, but I know of no way to define a quadword binary fixed point integer constant in the current HLASM.

We define quadword-aligned storage areas all the time. For example: Field1 DC LQ'0' Field2 DC LQ'0' Of course, you need to specify the SECTALGN option. We align all of our sections on cache-line boundaries, but technically you don't need more than quadword alignment to make LQ work. -- Phoenix Software International Edward E.
