I would say that it should not apply if there is an offset, similar to alignment not being done on DC with explicit length. LH 1,X+2 to load the low halfword of X should not get a warning, as it is obviously not supposed to match. An offset of zero could be a way to turn off type matching. Do you want real type matching, or just length? Does LE on a F constant genearte a warning? -- glen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
