I have a function written in CC5X:

void lcd_puts (const char *s)
{
while (*s)
   lcd_putch (*s++);
return;
}
which is used as follows:    lcd_puts("String to be outputted here");

This works fine when called in the same module, but I want to use it
from a module compiled and linked seperately, using the prototype -
extern void lcd_puts (const *s);

This won't compile - the error is given as 'the function can only have a
8 bit single parameter (transferred in w) because local storage is not
shared between modules'

Can anyone suggest a way of making this work ? other than having all my
strings in functions in the first module and calling them as required.

Best Wishes

Steve Allard
