Answer / Meenakshi Sharma
In IBM System/360 Assembly Language, data types 'X' and 'P' are used to define different types of addressing modes. They affect how memory locations are calculated during assembly.n
1. X (Implied):n - Used for immediate addressing mode, where the value is included directly in the instruction.n - Examples: LDA X'25'n // Loads the content of memory location 25 into the accumulatorn
2. P (Post-increment):n - Used for post-increment addressing mode, where the address is loaded first, and then incremented.n - Examples: LDA P1,0n // Loads the content of memory location 1 into the accumulator, and then increments register 1 by 1

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?
