"Large" data arrays

Stupid question I suspect but how can I lay out 2KB or 8KB data?

I want to load up monitor prog and will want to set out the running progs but I innocentle tried to put it in Dat sections and got a bunch of errors.
Do I really have to put every single line as a separate label??

Hello Toby,

no you don't need to set new labels just set a new LINE without a new label but again with
the memorysize byte, word or long

you can do this

  rx_buffer   long  0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0      '32 bytes
              long  0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0      '32 bytes    
              long  0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0      '32 bytes    
              long  0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0      '32 bytes    

  tx_buffer   long  0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0      '32 bytes
              long  0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0      '32 bytes    
              long  0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0      '32 bytes    
              long  0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0      '32 bytes

and this can be done to what ever size you want to as long as memory is not exceeded

best regards

Stefan

Thanks Stefan,

I tried that but got errors, or at least I thought I did! something else to hunt for now.

You can also do:

buffer  long    0[noparse][[/noparse]64]

This reserves 64 longs in hub ram and sets them to zero.

I just shut everything down, counted to ten fired up again and it all work as Stephan pointed out and I sort of expected anway. Windoze, Bless.
