I use the same value as an assembly control and to change some variables. It seems that in order to do so, I have to define it in one way for conditional assembly and in another way for variables. Is there a way to use the same definition for both purposes ? $SET (SIGN_PANELS_OUT = 2) SIGN_PANEL_COUNT equ 2 I can figure out on my own to use the conditional for the variable etc, I am not looking for a workaround, but for ONE defintition TYPE that can be used for both purposes. Erik
What about using a #define (in a header file) that you can include in C and assembler files? Would that do what you want? Jon
You may want to look at the form of the IF statement without the leading '$' character. It will use ordinary symbols, instead of those controlled by SET, to make its decisions. The drawback: you can't change these symbols from the Ax51 command line.
Hans-Bernhard, Thanks a bunch, it did the trick Jon, Cannot do, need switch compilers soon (XA not supported by Keil) because I do not want to have two different syntaxes etc to work with. Suggested major improvement of manuals with minor cost: improve the index Try the assembler manual and look up "IF" Erik
Erik, We're already working on the manuals. They will be fully indexed and searchable on the web site soon. Jon
