Syntax: BASE:n
Where n is a value rounded up to the nearest multiple of 64K Indicates that each object of the module has a preferred load address starting with object 1 at this address, object 2 at the next available multiple of 64K, and so on. Internal relocation records are then applied using this addressing scheme.
If the module's objects can be loaded beginning at this preferred address, then no load-time internal relocation records need be applied.
If the module's objects cannot be loaded beginning at this preferred address, then the internal relocation records that have been retained in the file data will be applied.
.EXE files may specify a base address, but it must be 64K. If it isn't, a warning will be issued and a base address of 64K will be used anyway. This option provides the same support as the BASE module definition file statement.
