Most assemblers I have used would let you use SET in this way. I don't use=
=20
microchip's assembler though so I couldn't say for sure that it behaves=20
like the majority of others.

HOWEVER - from my experience, I would suggest that you look around your=20
code to see if "link" is SET anywhere else. What could be happening is=20
that "link" is actually being left with some other value in it AFTER it=20
has been SET to "$".

Try changing the symbol name from "link" to "link314156" and see if your
problem goes away.

Also are you sure that "SET" is a directive for this assembler and not a=20
macro?
