Look-up tables. Macros. A macro is a grouping of instructions, defined by the programmer and given a name. When the source code is assembled, the macro is expanded out into the original instructions that made it up. The macro itself is contained within the directives macro and endm . Eg:
E N D
Macros • A macro is a grouping of instructions, defined by the programmer and given a name. • When the source code is assembled, the macro is expanded out into the original instructions that made it up. • The macro itself is contained within the directives macro and endm. • Eg: • Bank1 macro • Bsf STATUS,RP0 • endm
Puzzle • Give output of the following instructions • Bcf STATUS,RP0 ;Select bank0 • Movlw 33h • Movwf TRISA • Output???
Output • PORTA = 33h
Bank Seletion • Ensure you have chosen correct bank in data memory • In the above program, if you want to input some value in trisa, you should select bank 1 (bsf status,5).

Assembler directives • While the Assembler program is written for the target microcontroller, it has to be processed by the Assembler first. • To aid this process and make it more powerful and flexible, a way is needed of passing information and instructions to the Assembler, which it recognizes as being for its attention only. • These instructions are called Assembler directives.
