High Level Assembler support for V and A type constants in Immediate instructions

The advantage of Immediate instructions is lost if V and A type constants must only be used in LTORG and DC assembler instructions as then it causes a storage reference. Example:LLILF 15,V(EXTMOD01) Causes an assembly errororLGFI 15,V(EXTMOD01) It...

Better resolve 'ASMA080E Statement is unresolvable'

Please compile the following test program to reproduce the error. Attempts to use AIALENTH as a duplication factor fail with ASMA080E while BIALENTH works just fine. The only difference is the use of 'DS LQ' vs 'DS XL16'. AIADSECT DSECT , AIAVRS D...

Long displacement support for dependant/labeled USINGs

Dependant USINGs cannot be established beyond the 4K limit of the original 370 12-bit displacement instructions. With the prevalence of 20-bit long displacement instructions, we would like HLASM to support dependant and labeled USINGs for the full...

Improve ASMA972U messages

This message provides absolutely no useful information whatsoever to determine the cause of the error. The statement number is totally useless as there is no indication what the source of that statement might have been. It could have been open cod...
