yes, me again :) This works: my_table data "Taste 1 " ;0 data "Taste 2 " ;16 data "Taste 3 " ;32 data "Taste 4 " ;48 according to MPASM help this should work: PAGA_table db 0x52, 0x01, 0x51, 0x00, 0x00 ;PA12, GA12, Adr of txt db 0x52, 0x01, 0x51, 0x01, 0x10 ;PA12, GA12 or this: PAGA_table data 0x52, 0x01, 0x52, 0x03, 0x20 ;PA12, GA12 data 0x52, 0x01, 0x52, 0x04, 0x30 ;PA12, GA12 but in both cases (when I use hex instead of a literal string) I get a runtime error: CORE-E0002: Stack under flow error occurred from instruction at 0x000136 question: is it not possible to use hex here? thanks Lembit -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
