HOW DOES PBP handle bits varables to bytes

[richard]

bit_byte1 var byte
bit0 var bit_byte1.0
bit1 var bit_byte1.1
bit2 var bit_byte1.2
bit3 var bit_byte1.3
bit4 var bit_byte1.4
bit5 var bit_byte1.5
bit6 var bit_byte1.6
bit7 var bit_byte1.7

uses 1 byte

mybit var Bit

uses 1 byte

mybit0 var Bit
mybit1 var Bit

I think uses 2 bytes .

you can verify this by checking your ????.lst file after compiling ????.pbp

Not necessarily. Compiler makes best use of memory and packs the bits in bytes when possible.

So if you declare the above bit variable, they are going to be in one byte. The ninth bit will be in new byte location.
