See "Address Generation" on page 13 of the S/369 Principles of Operation. The displacement is not an address. The address that the processor generates form the base, displacement and index is an absolute address except on a 65MP or 360/67. >The assembler allowed "absolute" addresses to be specified, which >had to be filled in by the loader. You're confusing absolute with reolcatable. A relocatable adress had to be adjusted by the loader; an absolute address did not. >No, only those words that had been specified as containing an >absolute address.
