More help on LOOKUP tables please.

[surfies]

Can I put a few LABELS in a lookup table? If yes how can I then use the label returned to make the program GOTO that label? GOTO does not work with a variable.
Thanks

Use ON GOTO or ON GOSUB.

[SteveB]

Do what Darrel says.

However, if you need to intermix things in a LOOKUP table, then here is a method to achieve that:

lbl_1stPlace CON $FF
lbl_2ndPlace CON $FE
lbl_3rdPlace CON $FD
lbl_4thPlace CON $FC
My_Index_Var VAR WORD
MY_LOOKUP_Var VAR WORD

'-----------------------------------------------------------------

LOOKUP My_Index_Var, [1,2, lbl_1stPlace,3,4, lbl_2ndPlace ,5,6, lbl_3rdPlace,7,8, lbl_4thPlace,9,10], MY_LOOKUP_Var
SELECT CASE MY_LOOKUP_Var
 CASE lbl_1stPlace GOTO 1stPlace
 CASE lbl_2ndPlace GOTO 2ndPlace
 CASE lbl_3rdPlace GOTO 3rdPlace
 CASE lbl_4thPlace GOTO 4thPlace
END SELECT

'-----------------------------------------------------------------
1stPlace:

'-----------------------------------------------------------------
2ndPlace:

'-----------------------------------------------------------------
3rdPlace:

'-----------------------------------------------------------------
4thPlace:

Thanks Darrel and SteveB will try that and let you know.

This ON GOTO command, does it work with PBP 2.32 ?? here is part of the code;

COUNT PORTC.3, 15000, c1 'put pulses in C1

ON c1 GOTO S1,S2,S3,S4,S5,S6,S7,S8 I get a syntax error on this line, do I miss something? S1 to S8 is labels, C1 is defined as a variable.
Thanks.

Wowwww !!!

PBP2.32 might be @ least 10 years old ... more than time to upgrade !

my 2.50 version manual does not show ON GOxxx commands ( appears in the v2.60 manual ), sooo ... prepare your

Aag ja that explains it.
thanks for the help and the quick response, nice to have willing clever people on line.
will just have to make a plan now.

Hi, Surfies

Could have been much easier for us YOU to explain what you physically tried to do ...

I smell some kind of overkill trick here

Alain

[surfies]

There is a push button on portc.3, then depending on how many times its pressed, ( up to 8 times ) the program must then jump to that number's sub routine. I hope that make sense.

[Acetronics2]

then depending on how many times its pressed, ( up to 8 times ) the program must then jump to that number's sub routine.

so ...

a "basic" set of IF ... THEN ... GOTO is the trick.

SELECT CASE is the smart way to write it ... but is it available with v 2.32 ???

LOOKUPx is generally used to retrieve constants/values/strings from a table , not label adresses.

[surfies]

Yes, IF......THEN's is what I'll have to do , thought I could get away without them.
Thanks a lot for all the help.
