Re: Usefullness (or not) of STOC/LOC instructions?

Why do people find it so hard to reply to the same list
on which the original message appears?  I don't know that
I've seen Dave on ASSEMBLER-LIST.

I'd reconstruct it as:

STOCG  15,256(7),8  BC   7,SKIP
STG   15,256(0,7)
 SKIP   DS   0H

Paul, I saw Dave's post here on ASSEMBLER-LIST and replied to it here on
ASSEMBLER-LIST before I was even aware that Dave had also posted it on
IBM-MAIN. Dave has posted here several times before, and FWIW I think
his post was quite appropriate for ASSEMBLER-LIST. After all, one of his
products *is* and assembler!

The OP (Thomas David Rivers) posted on both IBM-MAIN and here on Assembler,
gil. Gord simply referred to him as Dave (which for all I know may be a fine
nickname as far as the OP is concerned).
