<a name="index-Z8000-directives"></a>
<a name="index-directives_002c-Z8000"></a>
<p>The Z8000 port of as includes additional assembler directives,
for compatibility with other Z8000 assemblers.  These do not begin with
&lsquo;<samp>.</samp>&rsquo; (unlike the ordinary as directives).

<dd><p>Assemble a string.  <code>sval</code> expects one string literal, delimited by
single quotes.  It assembles each byte of the string into consecutive
addresses.  You can use the escape sequence &lsquo;<samp>%<var>xx</var></samp>&rsquo; (where
<var>xx</var> represents a two-digit hexadecimal number) to represent the
character whose <small>ASCII</small> value is <var>xx</var>.  Use this feature to
describe single quote and other characters that may not appear in string
literals as themselves.  For example, the C statement &lsquo;<samp>char&nbsp;*a&nbsp;=&nbsp;&quot;he&nbsp;said&nbsp;\&quot;it's&nbsp;50%&nbsp;off\&quot;&quot;;</samp>&rsquo;<!-- /@w --> is represented in Z8000 assembly language
(shown with the assembler output in hex at the left) as
