A documentation update was included in APAR PH34824 which among other changes modified that statement to the following: Apart from any alignment padding for literals referenced by relative address, no space is wasted except, possibly, at the origin of the pool, and in aligning to the start of the statement following the literal pool. Such updates are normally completed within a few days, but for some reason this one seems to have gone astray. I have chased it up. Jonathan Scott, HLASM IBM Hursley, UK
