L' for flags is totally unacceptable. Show us 1 instance in the 4 volumes of
the z/OS data area's that allows you to code L'flagname.
Examples do not constitute documentation. What does the Ref. say?
Of course a symbol so defined should not be used as the
target of an S-S instruction without an explicit
(overriding?) length specification.
Using C'x' for flags is totally unacceptable. Again, show us 1 instance.
Worse if that 'x' is not an invariant EBCDIC character.
