Yes, that makes more sense. I had based my code on loads of 128-bit floating
point values e.g.
LD 1,=LD'2.71828182845904523536028747135266e2497'+0
LD 3,=LD'2.71828182845904523536028747135266e2497'+8
With LA, it's simpler.

If going down this path, it would be better:
LA 1, =AL2(4,C'te',C'xt')
LA 2,2(,1)
