.equ

Defines a symbol.

[Syntax]

Symbol field	Mnemonic field	Operand field	Comment field
symbol	.equ	expression	[; comment]

[Function]

Defines a symbol having the name specified by the symbol field and the absolute-expression or relative-expression value specified by the operand field.

[Use]

-	You can use this directive to define symbols for numerical data that can be used instead of the actual numbers in the operands of machine-language instructions and directives in source code.

[Description]

-	Incorrect formats for an operand will cause processing to end.

-	The .set directive may be described anywhere in a source program.

-	Symbols that have already been defined by using .equ cannot be redefined.

-	The symbol generated by the .equ directive can be externally defined by the .public or .weak directive.

-	If the symbol is externally defined by the .public directive, a symbol defined in another module cannot be specified in the operand field.
