used when there are indirect symbol references that would otherwise not
appear in an X-REF file.
The .REFERENCE directive uses the following syntax:
.REFERENCE symbol;
where:

Example:
.REFERENCE P1;
.REFERENCE P2;
.RETAIN_NAME, Stop Linker from Eliminating Symbol

.RETAIN_NAME symbol;
where:
symbol
1-118
