Chapter 9 Writing Machine Language Instructions and Directive Statements

9.2Instruction Statement Fields

Source statements that code machine language instructions and directives are built from four fields.

[label] [operation [operand [, operand]]] [comment] Contents of brackets [ ] can be omitted.

Coding rules

Source statements may contain a label field only.

Depending on the operation, source statements may contain no operand.

Fields are delimited by at least one space or tab. Two operands are delimited by a comma (,). A statement with an LF only, omitting all fields, is a blank statement.

Statements are terminated by the LF character (line feed = 0x0A). The maximum number of characters on one line is 255.
