DAT Limit

FORD

Hi to All,

I have searched, but cant find anything in the manual or on the forum.

Is there a limitation to how many bytes of data you can put on a line with the DAT statement.

Eg:

MyData byte "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz123" etc etc, how long can this go on,

and also, is there a way to put a break (like a carriage return) in the line so that it doesnt go off the rhs of the page in the editor, to make it like this...

MyData byte "abcdefghijklmnopq
rstuvwxyz123"


Any assistance appreciated,
Thanks,
Chris

No limit I'm aware of.

There are several ways to break the data to multiple lines.

myData  byte "abcdefg"
        byte "hijklmnop"
        byte "qrst{
             }uvwxyz", 0 ' make sure to end with a zero if your data is a string
