  SHORT label
 
    Sets label to type SHORT.
 
       Notes:     If the distance between a label and a jump instruction
                  referencing the label is less than 128 bytes, the label
                  can be declared as type SHORT.  Instructions using short
                  labels consist of 1 less byte than instructions using
                  near labels.
