Information About Warnings
-
In assembler syntax statements, column 1 is reserved for the first charac-
ter of a label or symbol. If the label or symbol is optional , it is usually not
shown. If it is a required parameter, it is shown starting against the left mar-
gin of the shaded box, as in the example below. No instruction, command,
directive, or parameter, other than a symbol or label, should begin in col-
umn 1.
symbol .set value
The symbol is required for the .set directive and must begin in column 1.
The value is also required.
-
Square brackets ( [ and ] ) identify an optional parameter. If you use an op-
tional parameter, you specify the information within the brackets; you don't
enter the brackets themselves. Here's an example of a directive that has
an optional parameter:
.entry [ value ]
The .entry directive has one parameter, which is optional.
-
Some directives can have a varying number of parameters. For example,
the .int directive can have up to 100 parameters. The syntax for this direc-
tive is:
.int value [ , ... , value
1
This syntax shows that .int must have at least one value parameter, but
you have the option of supplying additional value parameters, each sepa-
rated from the previous one by a comma.
