Use the QUALIFY subcommand to qualify symbolic and relative addresses; that is, to establish the starting or base location to which displacements are added so that an absolute address is obtained. The QUALIFY subcommand allows you to uniquely specify which program and which CSECT within that program you intend to test using symbolic and relative addresses.

Alternately, you can specify an address to be used as the base location only for subsequent relative addresses. Each time you use the QUALIFY subcommand, previous qualifications are voided. Automatic qualification overrides previous qualifications.

Symbols that were established by the EQUATE subcommand before you enter QUALIFY are not affected by the QUALIFY subcommand.
