### Numeric Equate Name

An identifier becomes a Numeric-EquateName when it is defined in a EQU or = directive. Procedure parameter names and local variable names are also created as Numeric-EquateName s, but are visible only from within the procedure where they are defined. All other Numeric-EquateName s are globally-scoped identifiers visible across the entire module.

A Numeric-EquateName may only be referenced from within expressions, as its replacement value is itself an expression.
