Allow MOD directive to accept only the standard base header parameters
There are cases where only the standard OS9 module header fields are to be
provided. This could be, for instance, in the case of a nonstandard user
type module. So allow the execution offset and data size fields to be
omitted entirely and handle the module length correctly as well.

They must start with a letter, dot, or underscore.</P ><P >LWASM also supports the concept of a local symbol. A local symbol is one which contains either a "?" or a "@", which can appear anywhere in the symbol. The scope of a local symbol is determined by a number of factors. First, each included file gets its own local symbol scope. A blank line will also be considered a local scope barrier. Macros each have their own local symbol scope as well (which has a side effect that you cannot use a local symbol as an argument to a macro). There are other factors as well. In general, a local symbol is restricted to the block of code it is defined within.</P ><P >By default, unless assembling to the os9 target, a "$" in the symbol will also make it local. This can be controlled by the "dollarlocal" and "nodollarlocal" pragmas. In the absence of a pragma to the contrary, for the os9 target, a "$" in the symbol will not make it considered local while for all other targets it will.</P ></DIV ><DIV CLASS="NAVFOOTER" ><HR ALIGN="LEFT" WIDTH="100%"><TABLE SUMMARY="Footer navigation table" WIDTH="100%" BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" ><TR ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="x238.html" ACCESSKEY="P" >Prev</A ></TD ><TD WIDTH="34%" ALIGN="center" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="index.html" ACCESSKEY="H" >Home</A ></TD ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="x253.html" ACCESSKEY="N" >Next</A ></TD ></TR ><TR ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" >Source Format</TD ><TD WIDTH="34%" ALIGN="center" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="c62.html" ACCESSKEY="U" >Up</A ></TD ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top" >Numbers and Expressions</TD ></TR ></TABLE ></DIV ></BODY ></HTML >
