struct array declaration error

[Rainstorm]

tb_btn     TOOLBARBUTTON   dup NUM_BUTTONS { }

NUM_BUTTONS is defined in the .const section as
NUM_BUTTONS equ 5

gives :  error A2008: syntax error : tb_btn

original struct variable name was tb, where i was getting the error too

tb_btn     TOOLBARBUTTON   NUM_BUTTONS dup (<>)
will probably work

NUM_BUTTONS is defined in the .const section as
NUM_BUTTONS equ 5

EQUates are assembler constants
they do not need to be defined in a section, nor do they create any data or take space in the EXE

tb_btn     TOOLBARBUTTON   NUM_BUTTONS dup    (<>)
that doesn't work either, and throws the same error msg

EDIT: i'd tried a few things including

Code Select Expand

tb_btn     TOOLBARBUTTON   NUM_BUTTONS dup    ({}) before posting

my bad

Shouldn't it be:

Code Select Expand

tb_btn TBBUTTON NUM_BUTTONS dup (<>)

Ah, you beat me to it...
