I am not an HLASM macro language expert but I am going to predict that if
the count is variable, and if there is no built-in function like SUBWORD()
then you are stuck with writing a loop.
It's too bad that the macro ("conditional assembly") language does not have
a real loop construct; that you have to do loops with AGO's and AIF's.
