Hello everyone,

I "borrowed" this codes from someone on the piclist.com.  I would like to
modify this code so that I can call different tables at different time
(right now it works with only one table).  A simple way is to cut and paste
the whole thing and change the appropriate labels, but I think it will be
long and stupid!

How do I change the code below to a general call routine so that any table
name from any page can be called?  If it's not possible, is there a way to
make it a macro so it saves some typing?

Please help!
Regards,
Thomas

Start
     call test_table
     goto start
;------------------------------------------------
Test_Table
     clrf OffsetH
     clrf OffsetL
Loop
        movlw  High(Table)
        movwf  PCLATH
        call  Table
     movwf  TableChar
        movlw  High(here)
        movwf  PCLATH     ; reset PCLATH

here    incf  OffsetL            ;  add 1 to data pointer
        btfsc  STATUS,C
        incf  OffsetH

     movlw 0x00               ; check the end of string
     subwf TableChar, w
     btfsc status, z
     goto end_of_char
     call lcd_display
     goto  Loop
;------------------------------------------------
end_of_char
     nop
     goto end_of_char
;------------------------------------------------
lcd_display
     nop    ; the code to send the char to be displayed on the LCD goes
here.
     return
