John, the point of this puzzle is how to avoid a wasted halfword; hence
Friday.
Though, equally one could argue that HLASM has a design bug here:
00000000 00 1 dc x'00'
00000001 00000001 00000003 2 ORG *,2,1
Had it done things right, it would *not* have done a halfword align
followed by going to the offset (as the book says it must); it would
have computed the composite required alignment and the noted that it was
already there; and the generated code for this test program would have
been a single byte (the DC in statement 1):
00000001 00000001 00000001 2 ORG *,2,1
