QUESTION

Is it possible to name absolute segments using the Ax51 Assembler?

ANSWER

Yes. To do this, you must create a generic segment located at a specific address and then select it using the RSEG directive. For example:

jseg    SEGMENT CODE AT 0x1000
RSEG    jseg
        nop
        nop
        nop

The segment jseg starts at 0x1000 in CODE space as defined by the SEGMENT directive.

MORE INFORMATION

• Refer to SEGMENT in the Ax51 User's Guide.
