  Syntax:   OPATTR expression
 
            .TYPE expression
 
  See also: TYPE, MACRO
 
  Description:
 
     The OPATTR operator returns a one-word constant defining the mode
     and scope of expression. If <expression> is not valid or is forward-
     referenced, OPATTR returns a 0. If <expression> is valid, a
     nonrelocatable word is returned. The .TYPE operator returns only the
     low byte (bits 0-7) of the OPATTR operator and is included for
     compatibility with previous versions of the assembler.
