Hello

It has been suggested I write some macros to simplify my code. I haven't used
them before. The MPASM assemblers guide is limited. I have a couple of
questions. Please note I am a beginner

In my code I am struggling to keep table and references to the PCL within the
first 255 addresses. The guide states macros must be defined prior to their
use. If I define them at the beginning of my code will they occupy those
addresses?

Is it appropriate to define macros using an include file and simply make
reference to them at the beginning of the program?

Is there a straight forward tutorial that could help me understand how to
implement macros? I have all the most popular PIC books but they don't go into
macros.

Is the Parrallax assembler a compilation of macros?
