   programming: how to EQUate a semicolon ?

   Hello all,   
      
   Using Borlands Tasm32 v5.0 I've got the next code (example) :   
      
   foo EQU call bar   
      
   and use it like this:   
      
   foo,1234   
      
   Now I want to suppress the calling of "bar", and thought about just changing   
   the "foo" equate with a semi-colon (imagine many calls to "bar" which   
   disappear as a result of a single change).  The end result would than look   
   like this :   
      
   foo EQU ;   
      
   ,1234   
      
   (after being resolved)   
      
   The problem is that I can't seem to find a way to EQUate a semicolon (as its   
   regarded to be the start of a comment).  :-(   
      
   Does anyone know how its supposed to be done ?   
      
   Remarks:   
      
   Borlands Tasm32 doesn't have a pre-processor.   
      
   I already found a solution using an empty macro, but would like to know if   
   it can be done with an EQUate too (just like the other one. it looks   
   better/cleaner to me).   
      
   Regards,
