I could find nothing in the "Program Management: Advanced Facilities"

I _did_ find a parenthentical comment in the book "z/OS MVS Programming:
Assembler Services Guide", in the section titled "Linkage editor
and binder support of AMDOE and RMODE", in the sub-section of
"Linkage editor RMODE processing". It says:
The linkage editor determines the RMODE of each CSECT. If the RMODEs
are all the same, the linkage editor assigns that RMODE to the load
module.
If the RMODEs are not the same (ignoring the RMODE specification on
common
sections), the more restrictive value, RMODE 24, is chosen as the
load module's RMODE.
So - it seems any RMODE specification on a common section (empty or not,
I suppose)
is ignored.
I didn't (yet) find a similar statement about AMODE...
Just wanted to leave this here for the future.
