Subject: Loading the pad byte for MVCL
External Message: Use Caution
So, I was wondering if anyone had a "better" way.
I've done:
IC R15,C' '
SLL R15,24
and
LGFI R15,X'40000000'
and
LY R15,PADCHAR
...
PADCHAR DC C' ',X'000000'
What I'd like is to do something like the LGFI (or LLILH) but using the
more "self documenting" PADCHAR format.
I'm probably just too picky. I could probably write a SETPAD macro and use
SLL, just haven't tried that yet.
