In the PIC world, relocatable code isn't dynamic!  Addresses are resolved at Link, rather than Compile, time, 
so the executable file (*.HEX) uses fixed addresses, and is indistinguishable from code written as absolute in 
the first place.  You're thinking of mainframe-style relocatable code, where the executable code is 
relocatable, and has its addresses resolved as it's loaded into memory - PICs don't do that!
