tblrd*+ might be one option

         clrf     tblptru       ;user names table address
         mov      high(user),tblptrh
         clrf     tblptrl

usr_srch tblrd*+                ;get table character
         movfw    tablat
         xorwf    postinc0,w    ;compare with string character
         bnz      nxt_usr       ;no match, try new string
         decfsz   cnt1          ;field count
         bra      usr_srch

But, yes, otherwise all byte addressing on the 18F is 16-bit, say
for RETLW strings

         movlw   d_text+.01   ;send CMEE=1, report << ERROR >>
         movwf   pclath
         clrf    cnt1         ;character address
getcmee  movf    cnt1,w
         call    cmee         ;get character
         xorlw   0xff         ;test for e-o-s
         bz      cmee_r       ;yes
         xorlw   0xff         ;no
         outw                 ;transmit
         call    write_d      ;display
         incf    cnt1         ;<<<<<<<<<<<
         incf    cnt1         ;<<<<<<<<<<<
         bra     getcmee

cmee     addwf  pcl           ;CMEE=

         retlw  "C"
         retlw  "M"
         retlw  "E"
         retlw  "E"
         retlw  "="
         retlw  "1"
         retlw  .13
         retlw  0xff
