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.
