Number format
Microprocessor manufacturers have chosen a variety of different formats for
representing hexadecimal numbers. [Some sort of formatting is essential,
otherwise a hex number starting with an alpha character could be confused with a
label or symbol name.]
DASMx
supports five different hex number format styles. These are summarised
in the table below, with an example in each case for the hex number F12C.

DASMx
chooses a default number format according to the CPU type setting. The
default choice can be overriden by a numformat statement in the symbol file. The
number format defaults for the processors supported by
DASMx
are given in the
following table.
