Harsh Linker says my app is a garbage file.

Using the artificially intelligent assembler (for first time) I want to create an absolute image; I have a readonly data area; a read write data area and a code area; at this point very little data, almost no code.

Link now likes to say “relocated value too big for instruction sequence.” at hex offset blah blah.
I would like the app to at least link, run and crash – so I can start to learn how DDT works.
What in general should I be looking out for that might cause relocated value errors in the code?
Whole image on disk is less than a couple of Kbytes; the linker says the file is “garbage”, I agree it may have a point, but it also seems a little harsh :)

It seems link is happy at least; if I use ADRL instead of ADR; so the crashing can now commence.

In ye olden days you’d just have ro-data interspersed with code and liberal use of LTORG to keep in all ADR-local.

If you have separate code and data areas, data gets away from the code quickly, requiring ADRL.

Thanks very much; I will explore these options.
