Its there.

It does define byte. You use it if you want to put text into the program to display. The ,0 at the end says to put a 0 byte at the end. If we
wanted to display it, we could do

ld hl, Ex
ROM_CALL(D_ZT_STR)

Ex:
.db "Hi there",0

Its also used, along with the .dw (define word) to make extra space at the end of the program used for saved games, scores, and other permanent
data.
