LOCTR instructionA LOCTR name may be referenced as an ordinary symbol. If the LOCTR namedoes not match a section name, its value is the location counter value assigned toits first appearance, and it may have arbitrary alignment and other attributes. If theLOCTR name is also a control section name, the value assigned is that of the originof the control section. So a LOCTR with the same name as the CSECT will resumethe first location counter within the CSECT. A CSECT instruction will resume thelast location counter used.Table 35.

A literal pool contains the literals you specify in a sourcemodule either after the preceding LTORG instruction, or after the beginning of thesource module.If a control section has not been established, LTORG will initiate an unnamed(private) control section.►►symbolLTORG►◄symbolis one of the following:v An ordinary symbolv A variable symbol that has been assigned a character string with a value thatis valid for an ordinary symbol192 HLASM: V1R6 Language Ref
