ITYM bit 0.  VL is not supported for 64-bit parameter addresses.

From: 
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.3.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r3.idai200/da6i2316.htm
    VL
        causes the high-order bit of the last address parameter in the macro 
expansion to be set to 1.

Bits are numbered from left-to-right.  The high-order bid is always bit 0.
