Section 1.3.5 details how numerical values are processed within the ASxxxx assembler's source programs. It establishes the rules for radix interpretation, prefixing, and numerical representation.
: Numbers are strictly considered absolute values . Consequently, they are never treated as relocatable entities in the code. Context Within "Expressions" Expressions 1.3.5
: Specific radix prefixes can be used to designate the base of individual numbers, overriding the default setting for that specific instance. Signage : Section 1

may include a plus sign ( + ), though it is not required.
must be preceded by a minus sign ( - ). The assembler automatically translates these into two’s complement form.
