transfer a string from ROM to an array

[Marcick]

where ?
da – Data ASCII.
Generates a packed 14-bit number representing two 7-bit ASCII characters.

4.14 da – STORE STRINGS IN PROGRAM MEMORY (PIC12/16 MCUs)

Funny, but if you try it you'll see the unwanted 00 added

db is ok

db is definitely an easier way to pack a mixed string data statement like "say",34,"hello",34,0 . funny I could never see the point of db until now

PICs always have hidden surprises ....

Ok, understood also indirect addressing now, thanks for your patience :-)
