.byte Directive

Syntax

.byte expression1 [, expression2] ... [, expressionN]

Description

The .byte directive truncates the expression values specified in the comma-separated list to 8-bit values and assembles the values in successive locations. The expression values must be absolute.

The operands in a .byte directive can optionally have the form expressionVal [ :expressionRep].

The expressionVal is an 8-bit value. The optional expressionRep is a non-negative expression that specifies how many times to replicate the value of expressionVal. The expression value (expressionVal) and repetition count (expressionRep) must be absolute.
