SX/B word variables

CrustyNoodle

Hi,

Tried to reasearch·this·for myself but I'm not getting terribly far...

I'd like to define and use more word variables than currently fit in the 19 Bytes of "first level" variable memory so that I can set a watch on these word variables and view them at a break point.· Does anybody know if it is possible to define some form of alias that would allow me define a word variable (as a two byte array) and then view this array as a word using the watch command?··I'd prefer not to copy the LSB and MSB to a word variable and then view this as I'd like to be able to see all of my word variables at the one time (at a break point).

For just holding onto values you can use a two-byte array like a word and move values back and forth between the array and Word variables. For example, you could define these variables:

gWord1          VAR     Word                    ' part of globals
gWord2          VAR     Word

wTest           VAR     Byte (2)                ' in banked array
 wTest_LSB      VAR     wTest(0)
 wTest_MSB      VAR     wTest(1)

... and then do this:

Start:
  gWord1 = 3546
  gWord2 = 0

  wTest = gWord1                                ' SX/B copies both bytes
  gWord2 = wTest

  WATCH wTest, 16, udec
  WATCH gWord2, 16, udec
  BREAK

  ' use Debug --> Run

Main:
  GOTO Main
