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...

Add new "Process Option" to suppress returncode 28 of empty compare and/or search-for

Why we would like to be able to specify a new "Process Option" like EMPTYOK, so that SuperC, SuperCE, Search-For and Search-ForE (ISRSUPC) ends with returncode 0 instead of 28 in case of zero compare or zero search-for (e.g. after filtering).

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...

ADATA type 0030 records (Source Analysis Records) are truncating source code images

When a macro generates a source image, it replaces the image's 8-character sequence number field with an 11 character string, thus producing a record that is 83 characters long. Then when that image is displayed within //SYSPRINT, it is fully disp...

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...

AMODE Default with ELF32 Option

Currently, a missing AMODE, RMODE defaults to 24 on Linux on z, which is incompatible with the ELF32 option. These options could be set by the linkage editor on other operation systems but not on Linux. By giving a parameter option, this default b...
