Hi Steve, Thx for the input. Right. Yes, I know about the idea to have a macro to align to a 256 bytes boundary. Philippe

You can make a macro that will do this. At Amdahl we had such at one time. Where I currently work, we have a macro called ALIGN. It was developed long before the G3 chipset (where 256byte cache lines came about IIRC). If you make use of you could control how your expansion works, by passing

the difference is the option used THREAD NOTHREAD Default THREAD THREAD Specifies that the assembler not reset the location counter to zero at the beginning of each CSECT. NOTHREAD Specifies that the assembler reset the location counter to zero at the beginning of each CSECT, except for the

Hi Aldo, Thx much for the input. Unfortunately I cannot for that project to implement Baseless processing therefore I cannot use EXRL instruction. Point is to keep the target of the execute is in a I-bank cache line, to be ok. regards Philippe
