EQU

EQUates are constant symbols. They can for example be used for things such as bit-definitions of hardware-registers.

DONUT_ISGOOD   EQU  $01
DONUT_ISBAD    EQU  $02

Note that a colon (:) following the label-name is not allowed. EQUates can be exported and imported. They don't change their value during the link process.
