  Syntax:  LOCAL localname [,localname]...
 
  Declares that a label or symbol to be used locally within a macro or
  repeat block. The assembler generates a different name for the symbol
  each time it expands the macro, thus permitting you to call a macro
  that may contain local jump statements without generating the same
  label twice.
 
  localname   The name of a label or symbol that can appear elsewhere in
              the macro. Separate multiple localnames with commas.
