ASM..ENDASM, what am I not understanding?

Hi, Gents.

Are there some assembly codes not permissible within ASM...ENDASM but permissible when using the \ at the beginning of the program line in .SXB?

I was adding some assembly codes into an .SXB program, and I experienced something which has me confused. The following illustrates the point.

This compiles successfully in .SXB

\_test  macro 1
\       bank \1
\endm

This does not compile successfully in .SXB

ASM
 _test  macro 1
        bank \1
endm
ENDASM

If I put the previous one in an external .SRC file and use the INCLUDE file, it compiles just fine.

(for .SXB file)
INCLUDE "src.src"

(SRC.SRC file)
_test  macro 1
       bank \1
endm

Thank you for your help in furthering my understanding of SX programming.

The slash "\" is a reserved symbol in SX/B.
Any ASM line that contains a "\" must be prefixed with the "\". Yes EVEN if it is inside an ASM...ENDASM block.

Gents,

I don't know what I did wrong earlier, but yesterday (Feb 20) I was able to get the program running correctly with the ASM...ENDASM statement without the need for a \ at the beginning of each line.
