Operand field

The entries allowed in the operand field of a model statement, before generation, are:
  • Spaces (if valid)
  • An ordinary symbol
  • A character string, combining alphanumeric and special characters (but not variable symbols)
  • A variable symbol
  • A combination of variable symbols and other character strings concatenated together
  • If the DBCS assembler option is specified, character strings that are enclosed in apostrophes can contain double-byte data.

The allowable results of generation are spaces (if valid) and a character string that represents a valid assembler, machine instruction, or macro instruction operand field.
