Syntax: <text>
See also: Greater Than/Less Than (</>), EQU, TEXTEQU, FOR,
FORC, Escape Character (!), Quotation Marks, Text Item
Description:
Treats <text> as a single literal string.
Angle brackets are often used in macro calls and with the FOR
directive to ensure that values in a parameter list are treated as
a single parameter. For example,
MyMacro <one, two, three> ;Passes one argument to
;MyMacro
MyMacro one, two, three ;Passes three arguments to
;MyMacro
The assembler removes one set of angle brackets each time it
inserts an argument into a macro expansion.
The <text> is any name, number, or expression. It can contain
commas, spaces, tabs, or semicolons. The exclamation point (!) is
an escape character that allows you to include special characters
such as the semicolon, ampersand, and quotation marks.
