7.3.1 The EQU and = Directives
The EQU (equate) directive defines symbols for constants. See the section entitled “Symbols” for further
details. Instead of EQU, you may alternatively use the word GLOBAL; it has the same meaning.
The = (equal) directive defines symbols for constants or assemble-time variables. This directive is
similar to EQU except that any symbols created with the = directive can be reassigned new values
during assemble-time with additional = directives. See section 7.5 for further details. Instead of an
equals sign, you may alternatively use the word SET; it has the same meaning.
7.3.2 The BREAK Directive
The BREAK directive causes a breakpoint to be set at the first line of executable code immediately
following it. This is used to set and save a breakpoint in the source code in order to avoid the need to
manually set a breakpoint in the Debug window. The syntax of the break directive is:
BREAK
breakpoint code
where breakpoint code is the desired line of source code to break on. The BREAK directive is ignored
during any operation other than Debug. Only one breakpoint can be defined at a time.
7.3.3 The CASE and NOCASE Directives
The CASE and NOCASE directives specify how to handle the character case (upper or lower) of
symbols in source code. The CASE directive will cause all the code below it, up to a NOCASE directive,
to be case sensitive. The NOCASE directive will cause all code below it, up to a CASE directive, to be
case insensitive. The default is case insensitive. The CASE and NOCASE directives can be used as often
as desired and will only affect the code below them.
Using case sensitivity will allow symbols with the same name, but different character cases, to be
treated as different symbols. For example:
