Hmm, there's always something new to learn with the assembler. I've never
encountered the boundary and offset operands of ORG. That's useful to know for
future coding.
The only thing that ORG doesn't do vs. DC is emit the potential filler byte.
Is uninitialized csect/rsect storage still an is
Thanks Jonathan. Correct. The error of mine...

OK, I've spotted why I used the more complex format:
ORG*+&BOUNDARY-&OFFSET,&BOUNDARY,&OFFSET-&BOUNDARY
instead of
ORG*-&OFFSET,&BOUNDARY,&OFFSET
If you use the simpler form too close to the start of a section,
so that t

Yes, I'd have thought that your simpler form would have exactly
the same effect as the form in my old ALIGN macro:
ORG*+&BOUNDARY-
Jonathan, isn't it the same as
ORG *-&OFFSET,&BOUNDARY,&OFFSET
?

I have the following macro lying around which I presume I wrote
to solve this problem. I leave whether it is correct or not as
an exercise for the reader (as it appears I never used it).
MACRO
&LABEL ALIGN &BOUNDARY,&OFFSET
ORG *+&BOUNDARY-&OFFSET,&BOUNDARY,&OFFSET-&BOUNDARY
