MVC Will work but as explained you must compensate for different lengths.
The more practical instruction would be the ZAP Zero and Add Packed.
The ZAP will adjust for different lengths and propagate leading zeros when a smaller field is being moved to a larger field.
TOTAMT DC PL5'0'
NEWAMT DC PL3'0'
Current Value of TOTAMT X'453789225C'
Current Value of NEWAMT X'00100C'
ZAP Instruction
ZAP TOTAMT,NEWAMT
New Value of TOTAMT After ZAP
TOTAMT DC PL5'000000100C'

In the house keeping section of an MVS assembly language program, like the one below STM R14,R12,12(R13) BASR R12,R0 USING *,R12,R11 LA R11,2048 LA R11,2048(R11,R12) .... .... 1. What if BASR R12,R0 IS NOT PRECEDE USING *,R12,R11? 2. USING (base address), REGISTER does USING directive says assembler to treat particular Register as a base register with the mentioned base address..in the above case * i.e current location counter..well if that is the case why we need BASR R12,R0 ? 3. What if I write like STM R14,R12,12(R13) BASR R12,R0 LA R11,2048 LA R11,2048(R11,R12) USING *,R12,R11 there is no address resolution being calculated in both LA statements so is it a right way to set Base register?..will there be any issues with Domain regarding R11 and R12?
