If, for example, you knew precisely how the LA (Load Address) instruction
worked but yet the Low Level Assembler of 1966 had not yet been enhanced to
support LA, you could always write code like this:
* LA R3,WHATEVER
DC 0H'0',X'4130',S(WHATEVER)
and your code would work. This is somewhat difficult, and perhaps not
interesting to most of us. As you say, this might not be practical. But it
is
feasible.
