I assembled:
* test V constants
EXTRN XXX
XXX DC V(XXX+4)
END
with Z390. It assembled the 4 into the constant without any
error or warning message. Same with the EXTRN removed, or replaced
by an ENTRY statement.
A different question, is what does the linker do in this case?
For A constants, the linker adds the value assembled into the constant (the
offset).

Has anyone tried assembling it? 8-)
