Data blocks

If I need to declare a large data block, but want it all to fit on the screen, will this work? (it compiles fine!) 
MyData byte 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
       byte 0, 0, 0, etc.

    That's exactly the way to do it.

    I would sort that into the drawer "bad style".
    Use a trailing "{" and a leading "}" on the next line.
    I found this in the drawer "bad looking". wink.gif

    The standard way to do it is:
    Mydata  BYTE  0[noparse][[/noparse]999]

    deSilva, I have 48 different values that need to be stored in a data block, so your idea won't work for this project, but I will keep this in mind for another.
