Ref: Your note of Sun, 1 Jul 2012 15:44:53 +0200 HLASM does not allow literals unless the relevant instruction operand in the opcode table is marked to say that a literal is allowed. My guess is that when this rather specialised set of instructions were added to the opcode tables, no-one checked which ones could reasonably accept literal values.
I can personally ensure that the HLASM development team are made aware of this issue. However, even if the team agree that there is a bug, that does not necessarily mean that HLASM service will ship a fix for it. The chances of a fix being shipped would be greatly increased if some customer actually reported the problem to IBM through normal service channels.
