Believe it or not, the binder *will* resolve it. Requires the binder and perhaps GOFF.

If it really external, your 3 lines are the only way I can see to do it so that the VCON is in the second word of the instruction. Or with a macro that does the 3 lines for you. And yes, LLILF is a fullword (not halfword) instruction, to that would be the right one to use.
