Single instruction on multiple lines

Don Buczynski

Does the propeller tool have a line continuation character or other method for using multiple lines for a single·instruction? I'd like to keep the instruction from running off the right side of the screen/page but an error is reported when I try the following.

Index := lookdown (Keypad[noparse][[/noparse]0]: $02,$03,$04,$05,$06,$07,$08,$09,$0A,$12,$13,$14,$20,
························· $21,$22,$30,$31,$33,$34,$3E,$3F,$40,$41,$43,$44,$45,$46,$47,$48,
··························$49,$4A,$50,$54,$55,$5B,$5C,$5D,$60,$64,$66,$70,$74,$77,$80,$84,
························· $88,$90,$94,$99,$A0,$A4,$AA,$B5,$BB,$BE,$C5,$CC,$CE,$D5,$DD,$DE,
························· $EB,$EC,$ED,$EE,$FF)

I don't believe there is any way to do what you want (to split something like a lookdown across several lines). I'm sure this wasn't thought of because it's inefficient to have really long lists for the lookdown or lookup statements. On the other hand, if its something you don't do often and isn't time critical, it can certainly be convenient. There are some very simple conventions for this, like using a reverse backslash ("\") as the last character on the line and the whole thing just looks like whitespace to the compiler/assembler.
