Can we use an equated value as operand for an MVC
instruction? Reason for the same

Answer Posted / saurabh biswas

Both the operands of a MVC operand is a storage operand.
But the equated value is an immediate data not a storage
operand. So if you use equated value in a MVC instruction
it will try to resolve the equated value in the form of
BDDD format. It will not cause any any error at compilation
time but will cause an unpredictable result at run time.
