Best way to store text in a pic

[Jerson]

This is how I do it

prn_SetDate:       PokeCode "Date changed",0
prn_SetTime:       PokeCode "Time changed",0
prn_LogPrinted:    PokeCode "Log printed",0
prn_SafeClosedByMaster: PokeCode  "Key interlock cleared by master",0

ASM
GetAddress macro Label, Wout       ; Returns the Address of a Label as a Word
    CHK?RP Wout
    movlw low Label
    movwf Wout
    movlw High Label
    movwf Wout + 1
    endm
ENDASM
Address         var     word

'----snip------
    ' This is how to use it
    ' Prt_puts uses the Variable Address to print the contents pointed at by it
    @ GetAddress _prn_SetDate, _Address ;macro from this site
    gosub Prt_puts                                 ; put the string to printer
'----snip------

' Print an ASCIIZ string
' Input - Address points to the string
Prt_puts:
  repeat
    peekcode Address, gr[0]                   ' gr[0] is a byte sized user register
    if gr[0] then 
      gosub Prt_putc                             ' print 1 character
      Address = Address+1
    endif
  until gr[0]=0                                     ' print till end of string '0'
  return

Hope this helps
