assembler maintains a table where Entry address for all lables being declared in the program. In below, symbol table will have details like "Para-1 000A", "VAR-1 ----" and so on. Address(entry point) for MVC instruction will not have its entry in symbol tabel as it does not have any label to be referred.. Still Location counter used to maintain address for each instruction. Here Location counter will have address of MVC as '000A' and its length of instruction. Here Para-1 address and MVC address is same as 0H does not reserve storage.
For example, Para-1 address is at X'000A'.
para-1 DS 0H
MVC VAR-1,VAR-2

VAR-1 CL4

In computer science, a symbol table is a data structure used by a language translator such as a compiler or interpreter, where each identifier in a program's source code is associated with information relating to its declaration or appearance in the source, such as its type, scope level and sometimes its location.A symbol table may only exist during the translation process, or it may be embedded in the output of that process for later exploitation, for example, during an interactive debugging session, or as a resource for formatting a diagnostic report during or after execution of a program.
