LS,

I want to create a macro that dumps some variables in EEPROM so that i
can read them out.
For that reason i am using some code:
[code]
    movf    FLAGS,w
    movwf	EEDATA0
    movlw	EE_OUT2+1
    call	SetParm             ; save FLAGS register
    movf    DATA1,w
    movwf	EEDATA0
    movlw	EE_OUT2+2
    call	SetParm             ; save Data1 register
    movf    DATA2,w
    movwf	EEDATA0
    movlw	EE_OUT2+3
    call	SetParm             ; save Data2 register
[/code]

Also declared several EEPROM location to be used:
EE_OUT1 to EE_OUT4 all some plces from each other.
I want to use this on sevral places. On thing i could do is copieeng
all the code to a other place en adjust the EE_OUTx value. Therefore i
tryed to contruct a MACRO as here:
[code]
Dump_Data MACRO location

  local   location

  if(location < 5) then
    movf    FLAGS,w
    movwf	EEDATA0
    movlw	EE_OUT"location"
    call	SetParm             ; save FLAGS register
    movf    DATA1,w
    movwf	EEDATA0
    movlw	EE_OUT"location"+1
    call	SetParm             ; save Data1 register
    movf    DATA2,w
    movwf	EEDATA0
    movlw	EE_OUT"location"+2
    call	SetParm             ; save Data2 register
  endif
ENDM
[/code]

And then calling it as Data_Dump D'4' i get on every row with EE_OUT
the message Illegal argument (expected single character). Can someone
tell me what is wrong and how to solve it?

Thanks, Harry
