I know adcons are relocatable in the sense that they are resolved to a
virtual storage address when the load module is loaded and executed; I was
referring to the second reason listed below in the ASMA032E HLASM error
message:
ASMA032E Relocatable value or unresolved symbol found when absolute value
required
Explanation: One of the following has occurred:
o A relocatable or complex relocatable expression is used where an
absolute expression is required.
o A DSECT-based expression is used as an operand for an address constant
where an expression that resolves into a storage address is required.
that's the error you get when you try to use an adcon outside of a DSECT
that points to a field mapped inside the USING range of the DSECT.
