If you do so, then I think HLASM generates an ESD even in cases where a human
could tell it was problematic coding. For example
EXTRN FOO
DC A(FOO)
ORG *-4
X DC F'1'
What will X contain at runtime? I don't know, but I know you would be foolish
to count on it containing anything in particular.

And the rules may be different for CMS, particularly dwith
object zap, which modifies the first TXT record with matching
address in the object file, which may be overridden by
a later one.
Ugh! Made maintaining patch areas tricky.
