I tried that variation for my "centering" example, and got this error:
000094 0000 0000 0000 00000 00000 8 MVC
LINEOUT+(L'LINEOUT-L'(=C'CENTER ME!'))/2(L'(=C'CENTER ME+
!')),=C'CENTER
ME!'
** ASMA147E Symbol too long, or first character not a letter -
(=C'CENTER
Shortening it to fit on one line didn't help:
00009A 0000 0000 0000 00000 00000 9 MVC
LINEOUT(L'(=C'CENTER')),=C'CENTER'
** ASMA147E Symbol too long, or first character not a letter -
(=C'CENTER')),=C'CENTER'
