@Ed's approach is elegant, although a maintenance newbie might have trouble understanding what
256AL1(*-TABLE) did.
Ed’s technique is standard practice here for building such a table.
As for newbies who may be unclear about the machine code that this generates:

True. I should leave it to Gil.

Heck, doing it the hardest way possible would not be terribly burdensome.
Code one line DC X'00',X'01',X'02',...,X'0F'
Repro that 15 times. Then using an editor select the first repro line and
change all '0 to '1, then on the next line all '0 to '2, and so forth. Finally
overtype 40 where the 5
All of the above.
A run-time loop would be trivial, and if executed once per run would not use
noticeable CPU.
A macro that used an incremented LCLA would be straightforward.
@Ed's approach is elegant, although a maintenance newbie might have trouble
understanding what 256AL1(*-TABLE) did.

I thinking this is because of difficulty in building the TR table.

I thinking this is because of difficulty in building the TR table. We'd need to
have 256 bytes where every byte's
