A define isn't a macro. When you have a project with heavy port
usage (or even using just 1 i/o), defining pins with names saves
so much brain work. Even while still working on a program, you
don't need to fatigue yourself remembering what BCF PORTA,0
does. BCF testpoint1 for me, thank you

You can suppress warnings and errors. I always include this line
in .asm files

 errorlevel -305, -302, -306

Look under Errorlevel and Messages - Assembler in
