SX/B - Defining constants as negative (two's compliment)

Mike Cook

Having a really basic problem here.

I'm defining a constant as a negative (two's compliment) number:

CDT CON -5 ' Central Daylight Time

When I compile the code and do a <CTRL _L> it compiles as:

185 =00000005 CDT EQU 5 ;CDT CON -5 ' Central Daylight Time

Shouldn't it compile as:

185 =00000005 CDT EQU 251 ;CDT CON -5 ' Central Daylight Time

Thanks,

Mike,
Sure, wait until I post version 1.51.02 and THEN find a bug.
I'm just kidding of course. Thanks for posting it.

I will look into correcting that.

In the meantime you can use:
CDT CON 0-5
or
CDT CON 256-5

Well that just means if people are finding bugs they are using it (SX/B)!

Great compiler once you learn the rules, I'm still LEARNING!

Thanks

It also means that SX/B will become more stable. Ahhh...the power of the people.
