LNC0417

Pointer move might not be valid. One or both operands %1 and %2 have an unknown offset.

10

Cause . . . . . : Since an operand of a MOVE statement contained a pointer, a pointer move was generated by the compiler. The pointer move, however, might not be valid because the offset of one or both operands of the MOVE statement could not be determined at compilation time.

Recovery . . . : The MOVE operation might not maintain the pointers. To make sure that the pointers are maintained, use a numeric literal as the reference modification starting position, or remove the reference modification. If you define the operand in the LINKAGE SECTION, make sure that the offset relative to a 16-byte boundary is correct.
