Hi
W are using the compiler on an embedded Arm7 platform (no operating system). Now we have run into this problem. We want to define an absolute address, to a specific register. It seems that, if the absolut address exceeding $FFFFF000 then we get the error.

OK Compiling goes OK.
********************************************
Var
VICDefVectAddr : Pointer Absolute $EFFFF034; ß ß ß ß

Procedure UartInterrupt;
begin
end;
Begin
  VICDefVectAddr := @UartInterrupt;
End.

ERROR Compiling goes Wrong.
