Chapter 5 Using Assembler
Operation Examples 81
5.4 Operation Examples
There are three steps to perform when you need a final list file with resolved addresses.
1. With the assembler, generate a relocatable object file (.rf).
2. With the linker, generate an executable format file (.ex) and map file (.map).
3. With the assembler again, use the map file to generate a final list file (.lst) with addresses
resolved by the linker.

Program assembly

Generation of a list file with the l option on the first assembly will not resolve addresses, so you would
not do so unless you have some special purpose. For the same reason, the Li, Lm, and Lc options are
also not used.
as103 -g sample.asm
The above command assembles the source file (sample.asm) in the current directory, and generates a
relocatable object file (sample.rf) with debug information in the current directory.
as103 -g -D VERSION -o test.rf /user/source/main.asm
The above command assembles the source file (main.asm) in the /user/source directory. For
conditional assembly of the source file, assembly will proceed as though VERSION were defined.
The above command also generates a relocatable object file named test.rf with debug information in
the current directory.
as103 -g -o test.rf -I /user/lib sample.asm
The above example assembles the source file (sample.asm) in the current directory. Files specified by
include will be read from the /user/lib directory.
The above command also generates a relocatable object file named test.rf with debug information in
the current directory.
as103 -I/user/defs -o /user/src/sample.rf -D TYPE file.asm
The above example assembles the source file (file.asm) in the current directory. For conditional
assembly (ifdef), assembly will proceed as though TYPE were declared. The assembler reads files
specified with the include directive from the directory /user/defs.
The above example will store the relocatable object file with name sample.rf in the /user/src directory.
