Answer / Om Shankar Trivedi
Maximum displacement in assembler refers to the maximum distance allowed between the start of a program and the location where a direct or indirect address can be placed. The limit varies depending on the processor and operating system. To cross this limit, you can use base registers (such as the BASE instruction in IBM mainframe assembler) which allow you to define a base address from which all addresses are calculated.

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?
