Hex code

[sharpe]

Hi all,

I am trying to define a variable initialised with some hex values like so:

bytestr byte 54h,68h,65h,...,0

But I am getting an error saying "statement too complex" using winasm.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Additionally, where is the best place to store larger quantities of initialised data, as I often received an error stating that my variable is too large.

Thanks in advance,

sharpe.

you may want to create an OBJ from the data item(s), alone
there are a few different programs around to do this

Erol (Vortex) has one named bin2coff...

   i've tried it with winasm and it worked fine. Also variables can be too large. If no errors too much time to assemble. Anyway you should use an Alloc function for those large arrays.

OK, I have done a little testing and have figured out what is wrong.
In WinASM, when you define variables for initialised data, each line can be a 48 byte array. If you need more data, then you must define it on the next line.
Here is an example:

szVariable    DB    01h,02h,03h,...48h
                  DB    49h,50h,...,0

I hope this saves someone some time.

Thanks for your answers and advice.

Regards,
sharpe.
