DEFB Assembler Statement

symbol DEFB bit-address <[>, attribute<]>

The DEFB statement defines bit symbols. The specified bit-address must be specified in the base.bitpos format where base is a bit-addressable word and bitpos is a constant number representing the bit position (0-15). You must ensure that the the base address is bit-addressable (not all SFR addresses are).

The optional attribute may be one of the following:

DEFA, DEFR
