My favorite for a one-instruction guaranteed abend (S0C1) is J *+2, which
assembles as A7F40001. The *+2 is actually the "0001" inside the
instruction. In a long ago flash back, I remember a discussion that
branching to an area with an "opcode" of x'00' was greatly frowned upon
becase, at the time, the "opcode" of x'00' was undefined but argued that
IBM _might_ make it valid some time in the future. Apparently this coding
was so prevelent that IBM actually changed the PoPS to say that x'00' would
_never_ be a valid opcode.
