#4102 — ORCA/M Macros and Indexed addressing

Hi all,

I am using ORCA/M (8-bit) and am encountering a seemingly simple problem...
How to pass parameters that are indexed... the index needs a comma but ORCA uses commas to separate arguments to macro calls....

So if I have a macro that takes e.g. ADD1 NUM1, NUM2 how would I pass TABLE,X as the first argument? 

Merlin seems to avoid this by using semi-colon as argument separator.

I'm sure I am missing something obvious here.... I tried using named parameters but it still uses the comma....

Thanks,
Paul

OK! There was something obvious to do, wrap the parameter in single quotes!!
