That still leave the question of HLASM syntax for DC. I would hope that it's been extended to handle tiny floating point.

Page 19-2 describes the 4 BFP data formats: tiny, short, long, and extended. The tiny format is new. John Ehrman's assembler book and the latest HLASM Language Reference manual I could find (SC26-4940-09), only discuss BFP short, long and extended. Is there a newer Language Reference manual that describes how to enter tiny BFP values? I also did not see any instructions in the Principles of Operation that use tiny BFP. Did I miss something?
