Answer Posted / vikram
Lenght feild is 8 bits so the data is stored in binary
format so if we have all 8 bits set to 1 then the length
will be 128+64+32+16+8+4+2+1 = 255.or
2^7+ 2^6+2^5...2^0 = 255.
so the lenght is 256 .....

What is house keeping in assembler?
What is need of start 0?
In the house keeping section of an MVS assembly language program, like the one below STM R14,R12,12(R13) BASR R12,R0 USING *,R12,R11 LA R11,2048 LA R11,2048(R11,R12) .... .... 1. What if BASR R12,R0 IS NOT PRECEDE USING *,R12,R11? 2. USING (base address), REGISTER does USING directive says assembler to treat particular Register as a base register with the mentioned base address..in the above case * i.e current location counter..well if that is the case why we need BASR R12,R0 ? 3. What if I write like STM R14,R12,12(R13) BASR R12,R0 LA R11,2048 LA R11,2048(R11,R12) USING *,R12,R11 there is no address resolution being calculated in both LA statements so is it a right way to set Base register?..will there be any issues with Domain regarding R11 and R12?
