Determining the load address

The load address and addressing mode of a load unit above 16 Mb are defined by the operand PROGRAM-MODE=24/ANY in the START/LOAD-EXECUTABLE-PROGRAM or START/LOAD-PROGRAM command or the BIND macro.

DBL determines the load address and the addressing mode of the load unit

• from the PROGRAM-MODE operand and

• from the AMODE and RMODE attributes of the CSECTs in the load unit.

• If AMODE-CHECK=*ADVANCED is specified, the AMODE attribute of the load unit is also used to determine the load address and addressing mode of the load unit.
