Using equated value as operand for MVC?

Hi,

Can we use an equated value operand for an MVC instruction? If we do use it, can there be some error because of this?

Can you provide an example of what you mean?

Code: Select all

         MVC   0(80,R04),0(R08) 
uses EQU symbols R04 and R08 so obviously MVC supports equated symbols.

unless the TS asked for the address,length form of the equate

Code: Select all
