Wynand,

     what you really want is to make it a

     const static <type> <variable>

     MPLABC is not ANSI so the const keyword may not be implemented! Just try
     it. Hope this helps.

     regards,
     ScotT.

Hi
I am trying to define a static string in C using Mplabc for the
16c84.The command : static char newstr[ ] = {a,b,c};
causes the characters to be placed in the ram registers and not in
the code as required.

Any idears
