4-8 Using the LSI Logic Assembler NASM™
4.6.1 ABSOLUTE
ABSOLUTE defines the symbol name by assigning it a numeric value.
After you declare a name using ABSOLUTE, NASM substitutes this
numeric value in each instruction where the name is used.
4.6.2 ARCH
ARCH directs the assembler to generate instructions that are specific to a chip
architecture.

Syntax ABSOLUTE name = expression
Example ABSOLUTE bytes = 2048; A sector is 2048 bytes
ABSOLUTE sectors = 4; A cluster has 4 sectors
ABSOLUTE cluster = bytes; cluster size
ABSOLUTE bytecnt = bytes; bytecnt is an indexing
variable
Description ABSOLUTE supplies a list of names, or labels, solely for the use
of the assembler. NASM refers to this list when it is actually
assembling the program.
Syntax ARCH chip_number
