4.2.4 Operands

Each machine instruction takes 0 to 8 operands. See the 16-bit MCU and DSC Programmer’s Reference Manual (DS-70000157). Operands provide data and addressing information to the instruction. Operands must be separated from mnemonics by one or more spaces or tabs.

Commas should separate multiple operands. If commas do not separate operands, a warning will be displayed and the assembler will take its best guess on the separation of the operands. Operands consist of literals, file registers condition codes, destination select, and accumulator select.
