| | Description | The EXTERN statement (which may appear anywhere in the assembler source file) specifies symbols that the current source file uses but which are defined in other object modules. The module where the symbols are defined must export them using GLOBAL or PUBLIC statements. The EXTERN statement specifies the symbol and its type. Following is a list of valid types: | type | Description |
|---|
| BIT | A bit variable. | | BIT WORD | A bit-addressable word. | | BYTE | A byte variable. | | DATA3 | A 3-bit constant. | | DATA4 | A 4-bit constant. | | DATA8 | An 8-bit constant. | | DATA16 | A 16-bit constant. | | DATA32 | A 32-bit constant. | | DATA64 | A 64-bit constant. | | FAR | A far label. | | INTNO | A symbolic interrupt number. | | NEAR | A near label. | | REGBANK | A register bank name. | | WORD | A word variable. |
The EXTERN statement may appear anywhere in the assembler source file The linker resolves all external symbols and verifies that the types match. | | See Also | EXTRN, GLOBAL, PUBLIC | | Example |
EXTERN TRAPX : INTNO
EXTERN yvar : WORD
EXTERN ExBit : BIT, FProc : FAR, NProc : NEAR
