I am generating text strings for an LCD display using a DB command. POSTF_TXT: DB 'SELF TEST FAILED', 0x0A, 0x0D But I want to embed a percent symbol in the string like TXT: DB 'bias level 10%' The percent symbol is confusing the assembler into thinking I am defining a macro. What is the trick to get the string to have the symbol in it? Joe
You already know one answer. http://www.asciitable.com/ A quick check of the manual under "Character Strings" reveals no mention of an escape sequence for anything other than single quote.
Have you tried specifying NOMPL to the assembler? Jon
Excellent Jon, NOMPL was just what I was looking for! Thanks, Joe
