Like if I create
macro PRINT character,iterations
        default iterations=1         <- How to make this?
        <code to print character iterations of times>
        endm

So if i call it using
        PRINT 'A',3     ; it will print "AAA"
        PRINT 'A'       ; it will print "A"

Is it possible to make the assembler compile without all arguments are
defined, and let the macro detect and act on missing arguments? Like this:
(Following macro loads a literal to W and optionally stores it in one or
two registers)
LL      macro literal,r1,r2  ;macro name L_oad L_iteral
        movlw literal
        if not defined r1 exitm   <- How to make this?
        movwf r1
        if not defined r1 exitm   <- How to make this?
        movwf r2
        endm

Invocations:
        LL ff,ADTMRL,ADTMRH             ;sets PIC14000 A/D timer to max.
        LL 0F,PORTA                     ;sets PORTS...
        LL 24,PORTB                     ;
        LL e0                           ;=movlw e0

The clarity is one main reason to use macros!
	

Anyone know how to do this?
I mean setting default arguments and/or sensing if they are defined.
(I«ve tried some methods but did«nt get the expected results...)
(I«m using MPLAB 3.30)

Thanks in advance
