Defines a symbol having a symbol name specified by the symbol field and a absolute-expression value specified by the operand field.
You can use this directive to define names for numerical data that can be used instead of the actual numbers in the operands of machine-language instructions and directives in source code. |
We recommend defining frequently used numerical values as names. Even if a given value in the source program is to be changed, you will only need to change the value corresponding to the name. |
Defines the value of symbol sym1 as 0x10.
Any label reference or undefined symbol reference must not be used to specify a value. |
