5 Assembler Directives

Directives are assembler commands that appear in the source code but are not usually translated directly into opcodes. They are used to control the assembler: its input, output, and data allocation. All DSC assembler directives are preceded by a dot ‘.’.

Note: Directives are not instructions (i.e., mov, btss, goto, etc.). For instruction set information, consult your device data sheet.
