Generally. Of course HLASM is all but untyped. A might mean an integer constant, especially since A supports expressions while F somewhat inexplicably does not. You can code A(BUFF_LEN+7) but not F'BUFF_LEN+7'.OTOH, DC F'-2147483648' assembles successfully, while DC A(-2147483648) gets a syntax error.
Well, it should get some kind of error.
A designer's perverse notion of completeness?
