DAT question

g3cwi

I have some data that consists of 26 longs. I have started to store it in a DAT section like this:

Letter_matrix long $F14A5F00, $FD6B5500, $74631880, $00000000, $00000000, $00000000, $746B5E80, $00000000, $047F1000, $00000000

However 26 on a line will make a long line. Is there a better way?

I intend to access it by:

Var1 := Letter_matrix[0] '=A
Var_etc := Letter_matrix[1] '=B

etc.

Can I split the line somehow? I tried some ways with no luck. I have even read the manual!

Cheers

g3cwi you can continue the line like this -

DAT      letter_matrix long $f14A5F00,{
                      } $FD6B5500

You don't need to comment out the CR. Do it this way:

Letter_matrix long $F14A5F00, $FD6B5500, $74631880, $00000000  [color=red]<- Note: no comma at end of line.[/color]
              long $00000000, $00000000, $746B5E80, $00000000
              long $047F1000, $00000000, $12345678, $12345678
              ... etc. ...

Thanks Phil!

Phil,

Don't you need a "long" on each of those lines?

I quess I can find out for myself by trying it.

Oops! My bad: yes, you do. (Corrected.)

Yes, you do need a "long" on each line.

So you'd want to change the code to:

Letter_matrix long $F14A5F00, $FD6B5500, $74631880, $00000000  '<- Note: no comma at end of line.
              long $00000000, $00000000, $746B5E80, $00000000
              long $047F1000, $00000000, $12345678, $12345678

Edit: Phil, I didn't see you correction before posting this.
