| I doubt any of that really "works". So you happen

| as numerical values somewhere? Otherwise the expression
| makes no sense at all. The leading 0 in 08 and 07 indicates
| you might have a completely other illusion on what's going on.

Apart from all of that;

A leading 0 indicates an octal number. 08 is not a valid octal number, but,
I'll just agree with Tino here, I don't think you know what you're trying to
do. I don't think you want.. AR minus DA minus 8 as the value.
