The "fit" part of "conniption fit" is actually redundant. The definition of 'conniption' reads: " a fit of rage or hysterics." Example sentence: "The casting choice gave the writers a conniption." (I did not know this either until I looked up the definition of "conniption".)

Seems to me I ran into this issue trying to set up the parms for PLO. The comparison and replacement values are 128 bits IIRC. Charles -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Assembler List [mailto:ASSEMBLER-LIST@LISTSERV.UGA.EDU] On Behalf Of Don Higgins Sent: Monday, April 18, 2022

HLASM has fixed BINARY constant type specifiers for H, F, FD. The architecture has no support that I know of for 16-byte fixed binary, so why should the assembler? sas On Mon, Apr 18, 2022 at 11:06 AM Schmitt, Michael wrote: > HLASM has fixed decimal constants for Halfwords, Fullwords,

Quadword constant

HLASM has fixed decimal constants for Halfwords, Fullwords, Doublewords, with appropriate alignment. Why is there none for Quadwords? The closest I see is LQ, but that appears to be intended for floating point.

Ed, after I wrote back to Dave- just what you said occurred to me too. In some cases It might be nice to find out "how was I called" or from where (and thus reading the bear and not location 110). And maybe the two (LBEAR and STBEAR) are just two flavors of the very same- one against
