% (Expression Operator)
   Operator Summary  Summary  Example
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
  Syntax:  %text
 
  Treats text in macro argument as an expression. The assembler computes
  the expression's value and replaces text with the result. Used in
  macro calls when the programmer needs to pass the result of an
  expression rather than the actual expression to a macro.
 
  When placed at beginnning of the line, % causes substitution of all
  text macros on that line.
 
  text   Can be either a numeric expression or a text equate.
