ThankYou Mr.Spiv. I found in one book that command DCB.B could be also use. It depends on type/version assembler. I will check it…
PS
Merry Christmas!!!

Hello!!!
Does anybony know how to replace blk.b instruction in a simple way ? I have tried to use multipy dc.b " … " command but it is little unprofessional and it cause extensive growth of the code 🙂
