326_01: How can I read an address and change its procedure using a macro entered in the startup command file?
Question:
I would like to read an address and change its procedure using a macro like in the following example. Is it possible?
if (address & value) == 0 then goto LABEL; //LABEL is a label within the startup command file
Answer:
It is possible. First, define a symbol "temp" as a 1-byte variable at address "100h". Macros also support if + then statements so this will be used. However, since the address (such as 100h) cannot be directly written in the expression of the if command, it is necessary to create and use a symbol indicating the address.
define/address/loc = 1 temp = 100h
if (*temp & 10h) == 0 then goto LABEL //LABEL is a label within the startup command file
