DCD command - need some advice

[mister_e]

So, i think i lost you pretty much more with the second asm code using the text substitution?

Sorry sometimes i'm getting sick with those MOVE?CB, PAUSE?C, macro and whatever else... It's the Darrel's fault!

Yup indeed the whole MOVE?CB ... block could be replace by using...

Patt[1]=Patt1
Patt[2]=Patt2
Patt[3]=Patt3
Patt[4]=Patt4
Patt[5]=Patt5
Patt[6]=Patt6
Patt[7]=Patt7

Now compile those line and open the .asm file... you'll discover somewhere those lines...

; C:\PBP_PROG\A.BAS        	00040	Patt[1]=Patt1
	MOVE?CB	_Patt1, _Patt + 00001h

; C:\PBP_PROG\A.BAS        	00041	Patt[2]=Patt2
	MOVE?CB	_Patt2, _Patt + 00002h

; C:\PBP_PROG\A.BAS        	00042	Patt[3]=Patt3
	MOVE?CB	_Patt3, _Patt + 00003h

; C:\PBP_PROG\A.BAS        	00043	Patt[4]=Patt4
	MOVE?CB	_Patt4, _Patt + 00004h

; C:\PBP_PROG\A.BAS        	00044	Patt[5]=Patt5
	MOVE?CB	_Patt5, _Patt + 00005h

; C:\PBP_PROG\A.BAS        	00045	Patt[6]=Patt6
	MOVE?CB	_Patt6, _Patt + 00006h

; C:\PBP_PROG\A.BAS        	00046	Patt[7]=Patt7
	MOVE?CB	_Patt7, _Patt + 00007h

Interesting eh?

NOW, why i use the MOVE?CB first? Well didn't thought Patt[1]=Patt1 would worked... later i decide to try and... Woohhooo

So this is why i edited my previous post. I'm still learning as well. I guess we never stop anyways!

MOVE?CB: Is a PBP macro wich copy a Constant value to a Byte variable. Not much.

Glad to hear it's working as expected
Have fun!
