Of course the artist formerly known as CC is correct
The binder doc really does not claim otherwise. The binder (and assembler)
primarily support alignment of CSECTs within a load module (or program
object) and when they spot an alignment greater than doubleword they
change the module attributes to indicate page boundary.
According to John Eell's "What's New in z/OS V2.1," presented earlier
this month at SHARE in San Francisco, z/OS 2.1 will provide "Generalized
Alignment Support" in the binder. The bullet items in his handout
provide the following details:
o Planned to support the boundary alignment from byte to 4K page alignment
o As specified in object modules when building program objects & load
modules
o When COMPAT=CURR on z/OS V2.1 (or V2.1 is specified)
