Can i spread an instruction over multiple lines?

Janstr

Is it possible in the Propeller tool to spread an (SPIN) instruction over multiple lines. Or similar, can i spread a DAT entry over multiple lines.

For example:

DAT

Mydata byte %10000000, %01000000, %00100000, %00010000,
················· %00001000, %00000100, %00000010, %00000001
Otherdata byte "This is a string"

Yes. Put a { at the end of the line and a } at the beginning of the next one. This comments out the CR.

Yes to both: in Spin, you can end a line with { and start the next line with }

tmp := var_a + {
         } var_b

and in the DAT section you can just continue adding data.

DAT
 
Mydata byte %10000000, %01000000, %00100000, %00010000
       byte  %00001000, %00000100, %00000010, %00000001
Otherdata byte "This is a string"

What's the problem with removing the last comma and put another "byte" in the second line?
There is no need to have a label in the second line.

For real long lines of instructions you can split by putting a {{ at the end of line 1 and a }} at the beginning of the next line.

Thanks, I've tried it and it works great.
