I'm testing to see if FLAG(PAGE0) gives too many false hits.
One problem is with code that is locating the CVT, which is a pointed to by an
absolute address. Using CVT DSECT=YES:
L R9,CVTPTR GET POINTER TO CVT
results in:
** ASMA309W Operand CVTPTR resolved to a displacement with no base register
Does this mean:
A. Yeah, it is going to give that warning. You have to consider each case to
determine if the warning is valid or not.
B. I'm coding it wrong.
C. I'm coding it right but there's a better way to code it that won't trigger
the error.
I like my compiles and assembles to be clean: no warnings. So I'm not a fan of
option A.
I suppose I could put in a compile option to set FLAG(NOPAGE0) in programs that
are getting to the CVT.
Statistics: of around 80 assembler programs:
2 hit the CVT case
1 set a 1 byte switch to an equate with MVC (should have been MVI)
1 used L R15,8 to set a return code to 8.
