Abstract
A method for effecting a direct jump in an executable program module to a target address displaced from a source address by a specified distance that is greater than a maximum permitted range. During program linkage the direct jump is split into at least two component direct jumps each no greater than the maximum permitted range, thus allowing the direct jump to be achieved by jumping sequentially from the source address to the target address via each of the component direct jumps. A storage medium for storing data representative of the executable program module contains at least one trampoline for performing the component direct jumps.
