Post by thread:[SX]: SASM vs Parallax macros

Hello, I am trying to convert a project done with the Parallax assembler to work with the SASM assembler (due to the new IDE). Even though the SASM documentation says that macros for the Parallax assembler should work without change in the SASM assembler, I am having problem with the following macros for the Parallax assembler. CHAR_3 MACRO 3 dw (((\3 & $f0) << 4) + \1),(((\3 & $f) << 8) + \2) ENDM TXT MACRO NOEXPAND IF (\0/3)>0 REPT \0/3 CHAR_3 \(((%-1)*3)+1),\(((%-1)*3)+2),\(((%-1)*3)+3) ENDR ENDIF EXITM IF (\0-((\0/3)*3)=2) dw \(\0-1),\(\0) ENDIF IF (\0-((\0/3)*3)=1) dw \(\0) ENDIF EXPAND ENDM The CHAR_3 macro stores 3 bytes in two words of program memory and the TXT MACRO uses the CHAR_3 macro to pack text, 3 characters per 2 words of program memory. The problem seems to be the following line in the TXT macro: CHAR_3 \(((%-1)*3)+1),\(((%-1)*3)+2),\(((%-1)*3)+3) The SASM can't resolve the arguments to the CHAR_3 macro. I am sure it is possible in some way but I can't find out how. Any takers? ============================== Ruben Jönsson AB Liros Elektronik Box 9124, 200 39 Malmö, Sweden TEL INT +46 40142078 FAX INT +46 40947388 spam_OUTrubenTakeThisOuTpp.sbbs.se ============================== -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList .....piclist-unsubscribe-requestKILLspam@spam@mitvma.mit.edu
