CLstatic Declares static data
Syntax: CLstatic <stype v1 i1, stype v2 i2, ...>
Description: Declares static data where "v" is a variable and i is
an initial value to be placed in "v." Allowable static
types (stype) are byte, len, int, log, long, double,
cptr, and string.
The cptr type causes the additional symbols v_OFF and
v_SEG to be defined. These symbols facilitate access to
just the segment or just the offset portion of a
pointer. Static pointers can be initialized (at assembly
time) to point to static data.
The string type is much the same as byte except that a
null byte is added at the end of the string.
----------------------------------- Examples --------------------------------
In the following examples, the "len" type is used to determine the
size of the data block between the current address and "i," where "i"
is a previously defined label:
CLstatic <byte msg1 "This is a test...">
CLstatic <len msglen1 msg1>
CLstatic <byte msg2 "this is ONLY a test.">
CLstatic <len msglen2 msg2, len msglen3 msg1>
This defines the following values:
msglen1 = size of msg1
msglen2 = size of msg2
msglen3 = msglen1 + msglen2.
