Defines Tab
The Defines tab brings up a dialog box with a window for entering (or modifying) a list of defines
that are global to any source file programs that are compiled and run. The macros that are defined
here are seen by the BIOS during its compilation.
Syntax:
DEFINITION[DELIMETER DEFINITION[DELIMETER DEFINITION[...]]]
DEFINITION: MACRONAME[[WS]=[WS]VALUE]
DELIMETER: ';' or 'newline'
MACRONAME: the same as for a macro name in a source file
WS: [SPACE[SPACE[...]]]
VALUE: CHR[CHR[...]]
CHR: any character except the delimeter character ';', which is entered as the character pair
"\;"
Notes:
• Do not continue a definition in this window with '\', simply continue typing as a long line will
wrap.
• In this window hitting the Tab key will not enter a tab character (\t), but will tab to the OK
button.
• The command line compiler honors all macros defined in the project file that it is directed to
use with the project file switch, -pf, or default.dcp if -pf is not used. See command line
compiler documentation.
• A macro redefined on the command line will supersede the definition read from the project file.
