Library /sys$common/syshlp/SDA.HLB  —  READ  Qualifiers  /RELOCATE
       /RELOCATE=expression

    Changes the relative addresses of the symbols to absolute
    addresses by adding the value of expression to the value of
    each symbol in the symbol table file to be read. This qualifier
    changes those addresses to absolute addresses in the address
    space into which the dump is mapped.

    The relocation only applies to symbols with the relocate flag
    set. All universal symbols must be found in the symbol vector for
    the image. All constants are read in without any relocation.

    If the image is sliced (image sections are placed in memory at
    different relative offsets than how the image is linked), then
    the /RELOCATE qualifier does not work. SDA compares the file
    name used as a parameter to the READ command against all the
    image names in the executive loaded image list and the current
    processes activated image list. If a match is found, and that
    image contains a symbol vector, an error results. At this point
    you can either use the /FORCE qualifier or the /IMAGE qualifier
    to override the error.
