6.1.9.39.1 Abs Flag

The abs psect flag defines the current psect as being absolute; i.e., it is to start at location 0. This does not mean that this module’s contribution to the psect will start at 0, since other modules can contribute to the same psect (See also 6.1.9.39.14 Ovrld Flag).

An abs-flagged psect is not relocatable and an error will result if a linker option is issued that attempts to place such a psect at any location.
