That requires a byte of addressable storage. In the code that I now write, I try to avoid using any base registers. However, I also write new code as LE enabled (and both "re-entrant" and "pure" - no modifying any location within a CSECT), so I do end up with a register addressing the DSA. I guess that I've just gotten a dislike for doing storage operations unless they are really necessary. In any case, as I have been informed, the TMLL instruction works on my z9BC; so I will now use it.
