Null statements
The null statements are useful primarily for making assembler source code easier for people to read.
A null statement does not have a mnemonic or any operands. It can contain a label, a comment, or both. Processing a null statement does not change the value of the location counter.
Null statements are useful primarily for making assembler source code easier for people to read.
A null statement has the following syntax:
[label:] [# comment]
The spaces between the label and the comment are optional.
If the null statement has a label, the label receives the value
of the next statement, even if the next statement is on a different
line. The assembler gives the label the value contained in the current
location counter. For example:
here:
a 3,4,5
is synonymous with
here: a 3,4,5
