Hello,
Please could somebody help me in understanding this ?
I am reading the listing of a compiled ASM program . In the DSECT cross reference , There is a Coulmn of ID . For each DSECT name the ID is having negative value. It appears that this ID is useful for cross referencing within the listing .Does compiler always generates negative ID value for DSECT ? What is the significance of this ? Can I be assured that if this ID is negative it implies a DSECT?
Please guide .
| Code: |
BN407 Dsect Cross Reference
Dsect Length Id Defn
BJ2DSHEZ 000059EC FFFFFFFB 7507
BN4CHECK 0000108A FFFFFFFE 1590
BN4COMON 00001002 FFFFFFFF 63
BN4OUTDE 00005BB0 FFFFFFFC 3966

Hi Quest ,
Thanks for the link , was indeed useful . However it didnt tell about the significance of nagative value for DSECT . Looking at the general pattern it appears as if it always generates negative value for DSECT.
Just want to confirm .
Thanks |

unsigned number ...
the internal csects and dsects are numbered in ascending order
the external csects are numbered in descending order |

Hi Enrico ,
Thankyou for showing right direction !
I still have certain doubts , The DSECT 's :
| Code: |
BN407 Dsect Cross Reference
Dsect Length Id Defn
BJ2DSHEZ 000059EC FFFFFFFB 7507
BN4CHECK 0000108A FFFFFFFE 1590
BN4COMON 00001002 FFFFFFFF 63
BN4OUTDE 00005BB0 FFFFFFFC 3966 |
are internal dummy as Could'nt find them in ESD with XD.
If they being Internal , How the ID's are descending , They all are having highest values . Please put some more light on this .
Thanks much !

change to ...

csects numbered in ascending order ( IIRC )
but why You worry ??
