Directives that specify the values of individual bytes in the resulting code.

[<label>[:]]     .DB <expr> | txtexpr { , <expr> | txtexpr }
[<label>[:]]     .BYTE <expr> | txtexpr { , <expr> | txtexpr }
[<label>[:]]     .ASCII <expr> | txtexpr { , <expr> | txtexpr }

Example:

alpha:    .DB "ABC", 0    ; generates 'A', 'B', 'C', 0
beta:     .DB %1, %1$        ; macro parameters
