>ORG  *,8 

Curious: Does this do anything that "DS    0D" doesn't do? 
Wouldn't "DS    0D" be more typical for "I want the next thing to be on a 
doubleword boundary?
It certainly is for those of us who learned assembler long before SECTALGN 
(and this form of ORG) even existed.

It might be true that the ASMA500W message is not the write message for 
"ORG ,8" but that is assuming that you know what boundary is being 
processed for such a case. The "null" first operand might have some effect 
on things. Or maybe it really is just a parsing glitch (and is an error).
