I just tried as following:


;-----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
; lcdmacro for textstrings
jmg/02.11.2005

lcdstring macro	text				; text of max 16
character

		local	Message
		local Start	
		local	stop
 		local	i=0

		goto 	Start

		dt 		text			; form a lookup
table from parameters
		dt 		0

Start	

		while i<16
		call	Message+i
		addlw	0
		bz	stop
		movwf	DisplayData			; load w to
DisplayData (defined in header)
		call	LCDout			; print out Data from
DisplayData	
i += 1
		endw
stop				
		endm

;-----------------------------------------------------------------------
---------- 



But using it in code with:

	lcdstring "test"


Brings me lots of errors, all like this:
