Functional description
This directive selects the format of numbers and character constants (single character).
The Cross-Assembler provides three numeric formats.
• Extended C language format
• Intel format
• Matsushita format
Each format gives a specific way to represent binary, octal, decimal, and hexadecimal numbers, as well
as character constants.
The notation directive selects which format numbers and character constants will be coded with. This
directive can be coded any number of times in a program.
Refer to Chapter 8 “Writing Source Statements”, section 8.7, "Expressions”, section 8.7.4 “Expression
Attributes”.
