Confused about variables

Thank you very much, Tim for the guidance.

Let's see if I understand you correctly. When I fetch an instruction from the vector, I would do it like this:

D1:=M1(P1):16h;

And that will store it as a 16 bit integer, right?

I also need to perform operations like this:

A:=M1((H*256)+L);

So I need to code that as:

A:=M1((H*256)+L):16h;

Is that right, or would I need to add the :16h suffix onto all of the elements?

Thanks,
