BYTE statement

The byte statement is used to define one or more variables and arrays of type byte. The byte statement behaves in the same way as the int statement, the only exception being that it reserves 8 bit memory locations instead of 16 bit memory locations. 8 bit variables of type byte are used to store numbers in the range -128 to +127

BEWARE: like the int statement, the byte statement is used to define both local and global variables depending on the context in which it is used.

e.g.
	byte	var1
	byte	var1, var99[10], var3
