You get a warning for this-
My favorite is this
MVI FIELD,CA'B'mark this with an ASCII B
Which is simply impossible

Thanks for posting this.
I have seen this on CLHHSI and MVHHI where the immediate argument is a
character string but not on Jumps. I need to watch for this.

I don't always check warnings from HLASM, but today it's a good thing I did:
2DBC A7E5 96EE 00015B98 5858+ JAS
R14,FORMAT_OFFSET_FIELD
ASMA320W Immediate field operand may have incorrect sign or magnitude
The generic immediate field warning is not appropriate here.
Steve,
The generic immediate field warning is not appropriate here. This is
a guaranteed wild branch.
Yea- but the warning informs you that for long distances JASL is
better

Yes, I did not notice this warning but the subsequent branch to oblivion
got my attention. Didn't realize the csect had ballooned to 96K so it was
possible for jump targets to be more than 64K away.
