Note the length modifer. This surfaces both the exact length of the
source and the exact length of the move. People who omit the length
modifer are sentenced to the 9th level of hell for all eternity. Or even
longer.
I have written macros to implement assembler features for which I have
been asking for a long time. In this case, it's the ability to use the
implied length of the source rather than target operand. In this case, I
would code:
| MVC2 TARGET,=XL6'402021212121'
It comes in *very* handy!
