While the alignment of literals if used in LARL would be nice, I'd like to see a whole bunch of new relative instructions that would allow the moving, loading, and comparing of a relatively addressed constant (literal or DC) to a register or "based" storage. This would eliminate the need for a base register for most constant data references.
There is no reason to have a relative store instruction, since this would generate non-re-entrant code. Keith E. Moe MAINVIEW for z/OS Support BMC Software, Inc.
