With regard to the first one, I don' think it will generate any ESDs unless you
code EXTRN (or similar) for each of your whatevers.
If you do so, then I think HLASM generates an ESD even in cases where a human
could tell it was problematic coding. For example
EXTRN FOO
DC A(FOO)
ORG *-4
X DC F'1'
What will X contain at runtime? I don't know, but I know you would be foolish
to count on it containing anything in particular.

hi js,
i have two questions about hlasm
1 - which the following snippet in a csect
dc f'1'
x dc a(whatever)
org x
dc a(whatever)
it seem that one gets two esd entires ... that are supposed to treated by the
binder how?
(i may not use my personal eyeball utility correctly?)
2 - the END "card" inan object deck may have a name for a type 2 version.
the binder complains about the value, if the name is not in the module;
Why i this so?
You can add a " entry ep" just after the end instead, btw.
best
Peter Sylvester
