How to declare a structure?

I define an area of memory that in 'non-volatile' so it doesn't get cleared on powerup. I do this is a module called memmap.asm like this:
MyData DS 512 ;Located at 0x801C

In another module, I want to declare an array of structures starting at the address of MyData. I tried this:
struct tagData
{
BYTE Num1[32];
BYTE Num2[32];
};

struct tagData xdata MyArray[8] _at_ 0x801C

But this doesn't complile. What's wrong?

Thanks for any suggestions,
RickL

  • hello,

    A member of a structure or a parameter may not contain the specification of a
    memory type. The object to which the pointer refers may, however, contain a
    memory type. For example:
    struct vp { char code c; int xdata i; };
    generates error 258.
    struct v1 { char c; int xdata *i; };
    is the correct declaration for the struct.
