    o  The assembler displays a warning message if the expression is
       outside the range -128 to -255.

    o  The assembler will truncate the most significant bits of an
       integer or external value that is too large to store in eight
       bits.

    o  You can only use this directive within data or mixed psects
       (psects that have either the NOEXE or MIX attributes).
