Data stored in code space. Some PICs can read the code space (some
recent 16F's, all 18F's), so for those data can be stored 'as is'. For
others it must be in the form of RETLW instructions, with suitable code
to jump to the desired one. This last form is what is often called a
lookuptable, although the first (data stored 'as is') could be called so
too.

I am a software professional, not a hobbyist (or at least I don't have
much time left to be a hobbyist). It is not entirely clear to me whether
you want professional assistance or just free advice. If you want
professional assistence you are of course welcome, otherwise I must
decline your request for free assistance.

Note that there are mailing lists for Jal (see the Jal page at
www.voti.nl/jal) and for general PIC questions (see www.piclist.com).
There might be people on those lists who can and have the time to help
you.
