Literals, collected into pools by the assembler, are assembled as part of the executable control section to which the pools belong. If an LTORG instruction is specified at the end of each control section or element, the literals specified for that section or element are assembled into the pool starting at the LTORG instruction. If no LTORG instruction is specified, a literal pool containing all the literals used in the whole source module is assembled at one of:

• The end of the first control section.
• The end of the B_TEXT class belonging to the first section.

This literal pool appears in the listings after the END instruction. For more information about the LTORG instruction, see LTORG instruction.
