Post by thread:Macros no longer assemble

In mid-August, I downloaded MPLAB 3.09.03. At about the same time, my Syquest removable drive acquired a bunch of bad sectors (no, I don't think MPLAB did it). Also, at about the same time, the fixed-point routines that I had previously downloaded and adapted to my use stopped assembling, and so did my file of macros. The fixed-point routines are now working fine, but the macros still do not assemble. Every definition of a macro shows up in the list file symbol table as a valid macro, and the cross-reference file shows them as macros. However, every instantiation in the code comes up with errors. Here is a sample from my test code (stb16 stores a 16-bit value from BARGB0,1 to tmp). Warning[207]: Found label after column 1. (stb16) Error[122] : Illegal opcode (tmp) 0002 0008 00061 stb16 tmp 0003 0008 00062 return ... 00135 stb16 macro dst 00136 ioff 00137 movf BARGB1, W 00138 movwf dst 00139 movf BARGB0, W 00140 movwf dst+1 00141 ion 00142 endm 00143 ioff and ion are macros to turn interrupts off and on. There are no other errors or warnings. This file assembled and simulated fine before the update/crash. What is going on? john perry spam_OUTjperryTakeThisOuTnorfolk.infi.net

John: Move your macro definitions to a point ABOVE the first invocation and it'll work fine. -Andy Andrew Warren - fastfwdKILLspamix.netcom.com Fast Forward Engineering, Vista, California http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/2499
