Syntax of Assembler Statements
In order to control the running of an Assembler, source code traditionally contains a
number of additional statements and functions. These allow the programmer to direct
the flow and operation of the Assembler as each section of code is analysed and
translated into a machine-readable format. Normally, the format of Assembler
statements will mirror the format of the host language, and the Assemblers follow this
convention.
This chapter discusses the presentation and syntax of Assembler statements, as
follows:
•• Format of Statements
•• Format of Names and Labels
•• Constants
•• Functions
