Defining BYTE and SBYTE Data 

   val0   SBYTE   50h+10h   ; integer expression
   val1   BYTE    'A'       ; character constant
   val2   BYTE    255       ; largest unsigned byte
   val3   SBYTE   -128      ; smallest signed byte
   val4   BYTE    ?         ; space allocated but not the value
Each initializer must be an 8-bit integer expression or character constant.
Type Usage
BYTE 8-bit unsigned integer
SBYTE 8-bit signed integer


0 + (–10)


0 + 246


BYTE: (–10) + 20 

 INCLUDE Irvine32.inc
 .data
