Thanks to all. The following can be used to calculate a patch space between 128 bytes and 256 bytes.

I think the following would work: SPACE EQU ((*-START+255)/128)*128 Where START is a label for the first location of your module or the CSECT name.

I want to round a module to a multiple of 128 bytes and I want at least 128 free bytes at the end of the module. I tried putting this at the end of the code and get the following with this error. 0 5303 SPACE EQU ((*+255)/128)*128 ** ASMA032E RELOCATABLE VALUE OR UNRESOLVED SYMBOL FOUND WHEN ABSOLUTE VALUE REQUIRED - ((*+255)/128)*128 Any ideas where I went wrong?
