EVEN Assembler Statement

Arguments	EVEN
Description	The EVEN statement sets the location counter to the next even address (if the current location counter is odd). This may be used to ensure that the next statement is aligned on a word boundary. The assembler creates a 1-byte gap if necessary. The content of the gap byte is undefined. Note This directive is available in the AX51 Assembler only. You may use the following code with the A51 Assembler to align to word boundaries in absolute segments only. XSEG AT 2000H ; segment at xdata ; address 0x2000. . . . ORG ($+1) AND 0FFFEH ; EVEN (WORD) alignment ; for next variable myvar3: DS 2 The following code must be used in relocatable segments due to the relative nature of the $ symbol. ?XD?myseg segment xdata rseg ?XD?myseg start: ; start label makes ; ORG expression absolute . . . ORG ($-start+1) AND 0FFFEH ; EVEN (WORD) alignment ; for next variable myvar3: DS 2
Example	MYDATA: SEGMENT DATA WORD RSEG MYDATA var1: DSB 1 EVEN var2: DSW 1
