FWIW, I frequently use MVCIN to place eyecatchers in data structures
to avoid false hits if and when it becomes necessary to search through
a dump for the structure.  For example:

        MVCIN XxwaEye,=C'AWXX'+3     Put C'XXWA' in eyecatcher field

I usually do something like MVC Eye,=C'xxwa' followed by OC Eye,=CL4' '. I like your technique better!


I don't get it, though. why

   MVCIN  xxwaeye,=c'AXXX'+3
     MVCIN  xxwaeye,=c'AWXX'+3

instead of

   MVC   xxwaeye,=C'XXWA'

?

Or why do your two-step approach?

[Of course, I _never_ user literals:
always labeled constants, but I'm
curious about these techniques.]

Kind regards,
