Dear lister, I am learning assembler on my own, i have something strange that i can't explain , please help me to understand
Here is a section of my code : 608 DBLWORD DS D DBLE WORD 609 PATTERN6 DC X'402020202120' 610 * 611 REPORTO7 DS 0CL274 612 OW0007DB DS XL2 613 OW0007OB DS XL2 614 OW0007AC DS F 615 OW0007NP DS H 616 OW0007PT DS F 617 OW0007PF DS CL256 618 * And here is the listing at compilation 0007FE 611 REPORTO7 DS 0CL274 0007FE 612 OW0007DB DS XL2 000800 613 OW0007OB DS XL2 000804 614 OW0007AC DS F 000808 615 OW0007NP DS H 00080C 616 OW0007PT DS F I don't undestand why OW0007OB is 2 bytes , but on the left it is considered as 4 bytes long , the same for QW0007NP I read something with alignment obut it seems to concern constants , and this is not constant ?
