Values

Values are numbers in hexadecimal, decimal, octal, or binary.
These number bases are specified by the following characters:

B b

Binary (example: 10010110b).

Q q O o

Octal (example: 377o or 377q).

D d (default)

Decimal (example: 2048d or 2048).

H h

Hexadecimal (example: 0a7fh).
You must precede any hexadecimal number
that begins with an A, B, C, D, E, or F with a
zero.

Don’t care digits may be included in binary, octal, or hexadecimal
numbers and they are represented by the letters X or x. A zero
must precede any numerical value that begins with an "X". 

Symbols

A symbol database is built when the absolute file is loaded into the
emulator.  Both global and local symbols can be used when
entering expressions.  Global symbols are entered as they appear in
the source file or in the global symbols display.  When specifying a
local symbol, you must include the name of the source file (anly.s)
as shown below.

anly.s:START

Operators

Analysis specification expressions may contain operators.  All
operations are carried out on 32-bit, two’s complement integers.
(Values which are not 32 bits will be sign extended when
expression evaluation occurs.)
