I believe the presence of an explicit length in AL4 (for example) removes
the alignment constraints - irrespective of the length)

The so-called "computed offsets" code generates an XREF entry for \both\
the field and the main group name.
Perhaps that is useful to some folks... It usually makes for very long
statements and if those have to be continued it can get very ugly quickly.

Not sure where the input string comes from, but if it is from something a
user types into a field (for example)
you may want to consider looping anyway. Although looping seems pedestrian
and simple-minded, it does let your code
detect certain kinds of garbage like: multiple signs, multiple decimal

Perchance a link to the .pdf ?
Or both if they are significantly different ...

I like your assessment of the situation.
In general there should be options to invoke any of several plans for
'special processing' and especially the 'hands off' option.
Implementing the 'do nothing' option ought to be rather simple except for
parsing the relevant keyword or whatever invokes
Excellent work. Thank you very much.

Hi Don
Thanks for reaching out - much appreciated... I may not be able to make it
live - any chance it can be recorded and downloaded later?.
Please let me know all subsequent similar events.

I can only imagine the barrage of knee-jerk responses you likely
encountered.
Sad but unfortunately predictable.

Something to think about is whether the possible negative or even positive
sign is lowed on the front or the back of the string. Likewise for commas
and decimal point (or variants of those decorators if you take into account

Here is a link to a (large) .pdf which is a *reference* to IBM z-series
Assembler programming.
It is a definitive work but sadly the author passed away in 2018.
It is probably not ideal for learning assembler but once you get into the
language it is a fantastic resource.
I recommend you save a

Whatever the resolution is for using z390 ... perhaps it can be shared here
for the benefit of others.
Better still, put on a FAQ page somewhere as well.

I always thought that some programmers did that as an "eye catcher"
to indicate that the value might nominally be zero but it will be
dynamically modified elsewhere...
(perhaps by an EX or worse - direct smashing)
A naked zero is not remarkable but *-* is sort of jarring... to the
reader.

Point taken! Thanks for clarification and I agree about base registers in
general.

Old habits die hard... I still just useLA 1,256although now I
might just code it asLA 1,256(,0)
:)
Notice in the example where there was a USING 0,9 that the assembler
ends up choosing the highest numbered register (9 versus 0 in this case)
when more than one USING is in
Very interesting...
I assembled this fragment on VSE and got a slight warning about the USING
