Continuing to the next line

Lucky

Does anyone know how to continue a lookup or lookdown table to the next line? When it starts to get too long in length, I press enter and continue the table on the next line, but at compile time, it says it expects an expression term on the first line and will not run.

End the line with a {, and start the next line with a }. This comments out the carriage return.

Thats a neat trick, I never thought to comment out the extra space. Thank you

Along the same lines, I was about to post about lookup tables too... I know how to do it in a DAT section. It is like this for those of you searching about lookup tables:

DAT
gray32    byte  0,0,1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,4,5,6,7,9,11,14,16,21,25,30,37,46,55,64,82,101,119,146,182,219,255

What I would like to do is stick a lookup table into a VAR section without having to copy those values from the DAT section using code. My application is very tight on RAM/code space so it would be ideal to do something like this:

VAR
' THIS DOESN'T WORK 
long myLookupTable[noparse][[/noparse]10] = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10

I would like to do this because I would like to pass the address of the lookup table to an assembly routine. I'm limited on space in the assembly routine too so I can't stick it there...

Any ideas?

You can pass the address of something in a DAT too; it doesn't have to be a VAR.

I would advise against using using the {} around new lines trick unless you really have to. It looks a mess.

Why not just lay your tables out like this:

DAT
gray32    byte   0,   0,   1,   1,   1,   2,   2,   2
          byte   3,   3,   4,   5,   6,   7,   9,  11
          byte  14,  16,  21,  25,  30,  37,  46,  55
          byte  64,  82, 101, 119, 146, 182, 219, 255
