Answer / mike m
THE LENGTH CODE FIELD IS 1 BYTE IN LENGTH.
THE LARGEST VALUE YOU MAY SPECIFY IN A 1 BYTE FIELD IS X'FF'
X'FF' = 255 DECIMAL
THE LEN. IN THE OBJECT CODE FIELD WILL BE 1 LESS THAN
ACTUAL LEN.

Answer / 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 .....

Answer / pazhanivel seethapathy
The length of MVC instruction is 1 Byte which is X'FF'. it
can have the range between 0 - 255 so totally 256 bytes of
data can be used.

Answer / roocarlin
the length of the MVC instruction itself is 6, one byte for the opcode, one byte for the length of the move-data, 2 bytes for base-displacement of the receiving field, and 2 bytes for the base-displacement of the sending field. since the length field in the MVC instruction is 1 byte, the values can be 0 to 255, thus you would be moving 1 to 256 bytes.
