Used to assign a memory location with a name <li><a href="equ.htm">EQUate</a>. Give a constant a name. <li><a href="set.htm">SET</a>. Same as EQUate but with a subtle difference. You can change the value of a SET during assembling. <li><a href="rs.htm">Structures (the RS group)</a>. Define a structure easily. <li><a href="equs.htm">String equate (EQUS)</a>. Give an often used string a name. Can also be used as a mini-macro. Much like #define in C. <li><a href="macro.htm">MACROs</a>. A block of code or pseudo instructions that you invoke like any other mnemonic. You can give them arguments too! Life is good. </ul> <p><strong>A symbol cannot have the same name as a reserved keyword.</strong></p> <h1>See also:</h1> <ul> <li><a href="presym.htm">Predeclared symbols</a> <li><a href="export.htm">Importing and exporting symbols</a> <li><a href="purge.htm">Purging symbols</a> </ul> <hr> <p>Last updated 02 July 1997 by <a href="mailto:[email protected]">Carsten Sorensen</a></p> </body> </html>
