Empirically, it appears to do the intuitively obvious:  treat
the operand as an integer constqnt.  But given the pains that
IBM takes to declare the construct "unintended and unsupported",
they appear to be reserving the right to implement whatever
changes in behavior they choose, perhaps making it dependent
on ambient temperature, barometric pressure, relative
humidity, and phase of Moon.
