sign jmz.b done , location
div #1+CORESIZE/2 , location
sub.ab >location , location
done

The code above only works when the location is like this:

location dat 0 , 4001
sign jmz.b done , location
div #1+CORESIZE/2 , location
sub.ab >location , location
done
end sign

Else you would probably need one more line...

Adding one line will make the placement of location free.

sign jmz.b done , location
div #1+CORESIZE/2 , location
mul.ab #-2 , location
nop >location
done
