To invoke a macro, use its name in your assembler listing, separating parameters with commas. To pass a parameter that includes a comma, enclose the parameter in angle brackets.
For example, the following listing shows macro pattern, which repeats a pattern of bytes passed to it the number of times specified in the macro call.
pattern: .macro times,bytes .rept times .byte bytes .endr .endm
The following listing shows a statement that calls pattern, passing a parameter that includes a comma.
.data halfgrey: pattern 4,<0xAA,0x55>
The following listing is another example calling statement; the assembler generates the same code in response to the calling statement of either of the above listings.
halfgrey: .byte 0xAA,0x55,0xAA,0x55,0xAA,0x55,0xAA,0x55
