    Default Basic Macro (create a macro with basic) similar to function

    Like asm macro's but can be written in basic.
    Would not save code size, but would make program shorter and more neat.
    Put 1 line in basic code with passed values that inserts the full macro at assembly time.

    ........something like, not real code

    B1 var byte.......
    SomeMacro var macro var1,var2, etc
    B2 var word
    ......................

    ...........creating the macro..................
    VBmacro SomeMacro
    local var1, var2
    variable var1= port.pin, var2= count
    some basic code...........
    high var1
    pause count
    etc
    endmacro
    .................................................. ........

    ........using macro in some basic code...........................
    start:
    for a =1 to 50
    serout (xxxxxxxx)
    count = count +1
    SomeMacro (portB.4, 50)
    next a
    etc....etc

    Might be something of use. I have not tried it yet but looking forward to it.

    Thanks !
    Looks like about what I was thinking. Brings up some questions. Now I will get PBP3. Looks like each macro can only act on 1 value at a time ? ........write basic code, build it to get code for macro in asm ?..........
    Definitely seems like advanced stuff for little basic.
