I'm trying to set up some conditional compilation under Microchips' MPLAB.
What I would like to do is SET a label to a text string, then later compare
it to a list of values. Something like this:


1 FOO   SET     "HELLO" ; OPTIONAL STATEMENT TO CONTROL COMPILATION
2
3       IF      FOOO = "HELLO"
4       { DO SOMETHING}
5       ENDIF

If I try the above, I get an error on lines 3 & 4 since I used more then 1
character. Is there a way to use character strings like this?  TIA.
