How do I use the DW directive?

Kenneth Kramer

Hi,

where do I place the DW directive in my source code, and how do I retrieve data·defined by this directive?

TIA,
Kenneth

You can use the DW directive anywhere as long as it is NOT in the execution path.

Use IREAD to get the data into your program.

Keneth,

The DW directive only works in the code section, i.e. the DW directive should only be placed· after an ORG that references program memory. Please
find attached, a snippet from my SX book, where I explain DW and the IREAD instruction.

I hope that this makes clear how the DW directive works, and how you can retrieve data defined with DW directives.
