In the broader scope of the assembler documentation, a "Number" is defined as a (Section 1.3.6), which serves as a fundamental building block for Expressions . Expressions themselves are combinations of these terms joined by binary operators. AS6811 Documentaion
: By default, all numbers are interpreted as decimal unless a different radix is specified via the .radix directive. Radix Support : The assembler supports four primary formats: Hexadecimal Expressions 1.3.5
: Numbers are strictly considered absolute values . Consequently, they are never treated as relocatable entities in the code. Context Within "Expressions" In the broader scope of the assembler documentation,
: Specific radix prefixes can be used to designate the base of individual numbers, overriding the default setting for that specific instance. Signage : Radix Support : The assembler supports four primary
Section 1.3.5 details how numerical values are processed within the ASxxxx assembler's source programs. It establishes the rules for radix interpretation, prefixing, and numerical representation.
According to the AS6811 Documentation , the assembler applies the following logic to numerical expressions:
may include a plus sign ( + ), though it is not required.
