Help: Placing data at an absolute memory location in RAM

You can try the following:

// locations in information memory segments
#define DATA1            (*(unsigned int*)0x1040)
#define DATA1            (*(unsigned int*)0x1042)
#define DATA3            (*(unsigned int*)0x1044)
etc.

Use the RAM addresses for your chip 

Or use the linker:

//  Code

-Z(CODE)CSTART=8080-FFDF                   //code starts after data

-Z(CODE)CODE=8080-FFDF

// Constant data
-Z(CONST)GAGE_DATA=8000-807F                                     //where my data is going. See code snip below
-Z(CONST)DATA16_C,DATA16_ID,DIFUNCT,CHECKSUM=8000-FFDF

#pragma location="GAGE_DATA"                // 8000-8079
const struct gage_data Gage_Data =
{
  "1.00",                                   // Firmware version
  __DATE__,                                 // Day & Time of compile
  __TIME__,
  "M241",                                   // Model no.
  "OU812",                                  // Serial no.
  "calibrator"                                  // who calibrated
};

Again, use the RAM addresses for your chip.

I've only done it with flash but the linker tells you where RAM is.
