Chapter 12 / Link Technical Reference
Near Segment-Relative References: Given the target's
canonical frame, another frame is specified (via an
ASSUME directive or the: operator in assembly lan-
guage or via a high-level language convention). The
target must be addressable through the canonical
frame specified. The linker generates the fixup error
message under either of the following conditions:
The offset of the target within the specified
frame is greater than 64K or less than zero.
The beginning of the canonical frame of the tar-
get is not addressable by the specified frame.
The resulting value of a near segment-relative refer-
ence must be an unsigned word (16 bits).
Long References: Long references have a target and
another frame (specified by an ASSUME or by a high-
level language). The target must be addressable
through the canonical frame specified. The linker gen-
erates the fixup error message under either of the fol-
lowing conditions:
The offset of the target within the specified
frame is greater than 64K or less than zero.
The beginning of the canonical frame of the tar-
get is not addressable by the specified frame.
The resulting value of a long reference must be a
frame address and an offset.
