<h1>DB, DW</h1>
<p><dfn>DB</dfn> defines a list of bytes that will be stored in the final image. Ideal for tables and text.</p>
<pre>DB   1,2,3,4,"This is a string"</pre>
<p>Alternatively you can use <dfn>DW</dfn> to store a list of words. Strings are not allowed as arguments to DW.</p>
<p>You can also use DB and DW without arguments. This works exactly like “DS 1” and “DS 2” respectively. Consequently DB and DW can be used in a BSS/HRAM/VRAM section.</p>
