This used to work in C51

Pete S

I'm porting code from an 8051 to ARM. I have a string that shows Model, Version, Compile Date & Time:

#define ModelName "H"
#define FW_Version "1.04"
...
const char ModuleInfo[] = {"M2P " ModelName " v" FW_Version " " __DATE__ " @ " __TIME__};
...
printf("%s\r\n", ModuleInfo);

This would print: "M2P H v1.04 May 08 2007 @ 14:57:00". The ARM compiler now gives me error #67: expected a "}" for the const line. If the Date & Time macros are no longer valid, that's fine, but what else changed to prevent the rest from working? Or was C51 just more lenient? I added commas between all the fields and that didn't help.
Thanks.
