Skips a specified number of bytes in the output file and fills them with binary zeros.
The .space skips a number of bytes, specified by Number, in the output file and fills them with binary zeros. The .space pseudo-op may be used to reserve a chunk of storage in a control section (csect).
|Number||Represents an absolute expression that specifies the number of bytes to skip.|
The following example illustrates the use of the .space pseudo-op:
.csect data[rw] .space 444 . . foo: # foo currently located at offset 0x1BC within # csect data[rw].
