Another weird thought from me. In order to more easily convert to "baseless" coding, IBM created the IEABRCX instruction to convert all the base+displacement branch instructions to the corresponding relative instruction. As best as I can tell, the majority of the IBM macros still use the "short displacement" instructions. So I'm wondering if it would be helpful to others if IBM wrote another macro, similar in concept to IEABRCX, which implemented "long displacement" substitutions, via OPSYN, for those base+displacement instructions which have "long displacement" variants.
