Labels are symbols representing the addresses in memory of instructions or data. They can be program-relative, register-relative, or absolute.
These represent the program counter, plus or minus a numeric constant. Use them as targets for branch instructions, or to access small items of data embedded in code sections. You can define program-relative labels using a label on an instruction or on one of the data definition directives. See:
These represent a named register plus a numeric constant.
They are most often used to access data in data sections. You can
define them with a storage map. You can use the EQU directive
to define additional register-relative labels, based on labels defined
in storage maps. See:
