Hello list,

I'm developing a multi-module MPASM project and have run into a bit of a
problem.

Say I have two modules, each requiring the use of a constant, 0xAA in
this case. I could put

|
|		constant	testconst = 0xAA
|

or

|
|testconst	equ	0xAA
|

in both files but this is obviously not very elegant or easy to maintain.

I have tried to define the constant--using both methods above--and using
GLOBAL and EXTERN statements to "share" the constant between modules as I
would with variable and code labels. This causes MPASM to throw:

"Duplicate label ("testconst" or redefining symbol that cannot be redefined)"

I could put the testconst in a .inc file and include in both modules, but
this seems like overkill just for the odd constant.

Is there a proper way to do this?

Thanks,
Brendan
