DT - ALL math done with these routines are done at the PRECISION level, and all variables used with the MATH functions must be (PRECISION) bytes in length.

re reading the post make it clear

[longpole001]

looking at the Nmath caclualtions

can a math action be done directly without copy a pbp var to a Pvar first ?

A var byte

Tmp32bit_1 var byte[PRECISION]
Tmp32bit_2 var byte[PRECISION]
Result var byte[PRECISION]

eg - direct method
@ MATH_ADD A, Tmp32bit_2, Result ; A+B =Res


or do i always need to get the standard PBP var byte into a Pvar before the math calculation

eg

@ MOVE?BP A , Tmp32bit_1 ' copy byte PBP to Pvar
@ MATH_ADD Tmp32bit_1, Tmp32bit_2, Result ; A+B =Res


cheers
