That will not work.
You would need
DC X'C02F',AL4((FOO-*-2)/2)
Don't know if this will assembler

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,
you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.
I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,
especially those from irresponsible companies.
