in what context?
you can have it like this:
Code:
original db 'a','b','c','d'
modified db 'a','b','c','d'+80h    

or like this:
Code:
mov eax,'abcd'
mov eax,<'abc','d'+80h>

Last one doesn't work, it should be:
Code:
mov eax,'abcd' 
mov eax,('abc' shr 8) OR ('d'+80h)

Or rather like this:
Code:
mov eax,('a' shl 24) OR ('b' shl 16) or ('c' shl 8) OR ('d')

You can swap the order (abcd -> dcba), if you like.

I use strings with end marked by hi bit of last character.
now I define string with next code:
Code:
db 'Sample strin','g'+80h    

but I want macro to define such strings by macro with code like:
Code:
EndBitString 'Sample string'

{
  db str
  local lastchr
  load lastchr byte from $-1
  lastchr=lastchr or 80h
  store byte lastchr at $-1
}

or
Code:
struc EndBitString str 
{ 
  . db str 
  local ..lastchr 
  load ..lastchr byte from $-1 
  ..lastchr=..lastchr or 80h 
  store byte ..lastchr at $-1 
}    


In case you want things like
Code:
aString EndBitString 'Hello World'    


Tomasz, is not better to use local names prefixed with two dots?

It matters when you use those names as labels, but here it is a numeric variable ("=" and "load" define numeric variables).
