Hi Stefan,

Those directives don't work as expected. To retrieve data from program
memory, use the RETLW XX instruction. If you build a table, it looks very
large unless you use the shorthand assembler directive, "dt", creates
automatically a table of "retlw" when assembled. example:

dt      0x01,0x35,0x02,0x45

is the same as:

retlw   0x01
retlw   0x35
retlw   0x02
retlw   0x45

To access the table, put a "addwf  PCL,f" with a label on the line before
the table, and when you jump to the label (place the table element you want
to access in w), you will be returned with the value replaced in w.

example:

mytable:        addwf   PCL,f
                dt      0x01,0x35,0x02,0x45
