Nope.

Use a PSECT to define it.

FWIW, if you read the manual and the FAQ's you'll find exactly how to do it.

Been there.  Works nicely.

OK, so I'll be nice.  Here:

Here's the compile instructions out of one of my projects.  The
second-to-last line is the key for this example.  It forces the module to
be located at 0x0ffd.

//      picc < sdd.mak
//
// where sdd.mak is:
//
//      -16C76 -O -Zg1 \
//      -Osdd -Msdd.map \
//      -E -G \
//      -L-Pidfuse=2000h \
//      -L-Preserved=0ffdh \
//      sdd.c


Here's the code in the C file:

// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/////
//
//              Chip Serial Number, Config Fuses, etc.
//
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

extern byte     SerialNumber[];
#asm
        psect   reserved,class=CODE,delta=2
        global  _SerialNumber
_SerialNumber:
        retlw   0xFF
        retlw   0xFF
        retlw   0xFF
#endasm

This is a trivial example, but it gets the job done.

If you are looking at putting C code at a particular address, you need to
force the module into the PSECT using a PRAGMA - go look in the manual for
that one.  It works, too.
