if you mean, reserving space for a variable, then you use the .comm
directive like this:
.comm _x,4 will create a variable (global variable, AFAIK) that could be
a char, an int, a float or anything that will get into those 4 bytes.
a long will take 8 bytes IIRC so you could say .comm _y,8 and so on.
