According to the AS6811 Documentation , the assembler applies the following logic to numerical expressions:
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 Expressions 1.3.5
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
: Numbers are strictly considered absolute values . Consequently, they are never treated as relocatable entities in the code. Context Within "Expressions" According to the AS6811 Documentation
