Padding and truncation of values

HLASM Language Reference
SC26-4940-06

The nominal values specified for constants are assembled into storage. The amount of space available for the nominal value of a constant is determined:
  • By the explicit length specified in the length modifier, or
  • If no explicit length is specified, by the implicit length according to the type of constant defined (see Summary of constants).

The padding and truncation rules apply to single nominal values.
