  Message:      009
 
  Text:         Segment too large try SEGSIZE (<65536)
 
  Severity:     Recoverable
 
  Explanation:  The generated code contains a segment more than
                65535 bytes long. This is the maximum size allowed in
                environments with 16 bit segmented architecture.
 
  Resolution:   Either change your program to make the segment
                smaller or use the SEGSIZE directive to control
                automatic segmentation. See also SEGSIZE
