Zilog Developer Studio II – Z8 Encore!
User Manual

When the target label is external to the assembly file, the assembler always assumes
that the target address is out of range.

It is usually preferable to allow the assembler to make these replacements because if the
target of the jump is out of range, the assembler would otherwise not be able to generate
correct code for the jump. However, if you are very concerned about monitoring the code
size of your assembled application, you can deselect the

Jump Optimization

checkbox.

You will then get an error message (from the assembler if the target label is in the same
assembly file or from the linker if it is not) every time the assembler is unable to reach the
target label with a relative jump. This might give you an opportunity to try to tune your
code for greater efficiency.

The default is checked.
