You need a CATTR with the proper alignment.

Subject: ASMA500 message question
Everyone,
This code fragment:
00001C 4700 0000 00000 71 NOP 0
000020 0101 72 PR
000022 73 DC 0LQ
*** ASMA500W Requested alignment exceeds section alignment *
000022 74 QUAD@1 DC LQ'0'
causes the *ASMA500W* message to be issued; it's description appears below:
* ASMA500W Requested alignment exceeds section alignment
Explanation: The section alignment is lower than that requested on the
instruction and hence the actual alignment may not be honored.
System Action: The requested alignment is ignored.
Programmer Response: Change the requested alignment to be less than or
equal to that of the section, or ensure that the desired alignment is
achieved during program linking and loading.
*
* Severity: 4 *
Does anyone know what the 'section' mentioned in the message is? Is it a
reference to the current control section (CSECT)?
I don't get it...all I want to do is get quadword boundary alignment for
the QUAD@1 constant.
