Parameters

location
 A virtual address or a range of virtual addresses (where the second
 address is larger than the first). A location can be any valid
 arithmetic expression containing arithmetic or logical operators or
 previously assigned symbols. Radix qualifiers determine the radix in
 which the address is interpreted; hexadecimal is the initial default
 radix. Symbol names are always interpreted in the radix in which they
 were defined. The radix operators %X, %D, or %O can precede the
 location. A hexadecimal value must begin with a number (or be preceded
 by %X).
