Radix control operators determine the radix of a term or
expression. MACRO-64 accepts terms or expressions in four
different radixes: binary, decimal, octal, and hexadecimal. The
default radix is decimal.
FORMATS
^Bnn
^Dnn
^Onn
^Xnn
nn
A string of characters that is legal in the specified radix. The
following are the legal characters for each radix:
Radix
Format Name Legal Characters
^Bnn Binary 0 and 1
^Dnn Decimal 0 to 9
^Onn Octal 0 to 7
^Xnn Hexadecimal0 to 9 and A to F
You can include radix control operators in the source program
anywhere a numeric value is legal. A radix control operator
affects only the term immediately following it, causing that
term to be evaluated in the specified radix. For example:
.WORD ^B00001101 ; Binary radix
.WORD ^D123 ; Decimal radix (default)
.WORD ^O47 ; Octal radix
Do not place spaces or tabs between the circumflex (^), the radix
specifier (B, D, O, or X), or the numeric value.
