Is there a more elegant way to set high & low bytes?

[Blue Bill]

Code: Select all

Clock = 8		   
#option SetBaud1 = 38400
#option MIPx10 = _clock * 2500000 
Const Baud1 As Word = (MIPx10 / SetBaud1 - 5) / 10                                
TBLPTRH = Baud1 >> 8 And $FF
TBLPTRL = Baud1 And $FF

The ".Byte0" and ".Bytes(0)" don't compile, are they part of a module?

[Jerry Messina]

The variable modifiers (.byte0, .bytes, .bits, etc) only work with variables, not CONSTs

Another way might be

Code: Select all

TBLPTRH = byte(Baudl >> 8)
TBLPTRL = byte(Baudl)

As far as that being "more elegant", that's your call. It produces the same code.
