Oops, accidently replied directly to João. Not sure why you need it for LA, but when I need this, I use:
MVC target(6),=AL2(4,C'te',C'xt') You could use: LA 1, =AL2(4,C'te',C'xt') LA 2, =AL2(4,C'te',C'xt')+2 But that's ugly. Use of consecutive named fields as others suggested would be the simplest approach. Robert Ngan DXC Luxoft P.S. João, In my original reply there was a typo, I used +1 instead of +2 on the second LA. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Assembler List <ASSEMBLER-LIST@LISTSERV.UGA.EDU> On Behalf Of João Reginato Sent: Monday, July 8, 2024 08:48 To: ASSEMBLER-LIST@LISTSERV.UGA.EDU Subject: using 2 consecutives areas Importance: Low Hi What can I do to guarantee that the 2 literals below are consecutives in the literal pool?
