Lookahead does not resolve locations. It can resolve the type
of a symbol or the length of a DC/DS statement or similar.

Note for example that if the start of some area is fullword

I must admit that one of the bullets of the explanation of

- It is derived from an absolute value.
This text appears to have been added in 1987 for the equivalent

Any length specified on EQU must be able to be evaluated at the

definition must have been seen, but also that the definition can
be processed and resolved to an numeric value. If t
