Defining variables emu8086

Question

I'm trying to define a byte variable in emu8086 with the initial value of F0H and I receive the following error:

Code:

X DB F0H

Error:

(1) zero prefix must be added to a HEX value, for example: 0Ch

what is this error for?

It literally tells you what to do ... `X DB 0F0h`. That's so that in can be differentiated from a symbol which start with letters. — Jester, Dec 23 '15 at 17:35

we need to add 0 before the value of an variable or we say we attach 0 before value of an variable otherwise it gives an error

Define like this

x db 0f0h

It's because the HEX value can be differentiated from a symbols that start with letters.
