Hi an assembler question.

How do I set a constant so that it can be used in all my asm files

In my main.asm file I have

#define timeint 10

which works fine when the sub that uses timeint is in my main.asm file

I want to create another file called inputs.asm which will have a sub within that will need to use timeint.

apart from adding #define timeint 10 to every asm file is there a common file.

Tried adding it in my include file but not sure of the Syntax.

I am sure there must be a way.

Regards

Brian

Brian,

The simplest way is to use a header file (myheader.inc)

eg. in your header file

#define timeint 10 ; note the space before start of line

making sure to include this header wherever needed

#include ''myheader.inc''

ld A, #timeout

Hope this helps

Regards

sjo

Thanks,

I knew it would be simple, but I could not find it documented
