>(HLASM imposes a limit of 255 on return code. Very >stingy to save 3 bytes somewhere.)
Actually, it only (in a way) saves 4 bits somewhere. Only the last 12 bits of the return value in register 15 appear to be used (they're certainly the only bits that are presented in the standard system messages).
