= (Equal Symbol)- Assign a value to a symbol:

label	=	expression

The "=" directive assigns the value of the expression in the operand field to the label. The label cannot be redefined anywhere else in the program. The expression cannot contain any forward references or undefined symbols. "=" declarations with forward references are flagged with Phasing Errors.


Example:
mode1	=	$10	* Assign a constant value
mode2	=	mode1	* Assign the value of a label
mode3	=	mode4	* Invalid! Cannot use forward references
mode4	=	100	* Assign a constant value
