18F252, char[20][16], char[20][80]

[MarkP]

I'd like to have some arrays of strings - ie a 2D char array. I get impression this can't be done, anybody know a nice way to get around this?

Cheers,
Mark

What version?
3.148 does it fine, e.g.:
char mystrings[20][16];
......
mystrings[MainMenu][SubMenu] = lastKey;

<font face="Courier New" size=-1>:=What version?
I ran ccsc.exe +V and it gave me a file not found error :-S I transplanted the install from another machine that had died, so I guess there's an install problem there or a conflict with the PCM that was prevoiusly installed on it - though it works fine otheriwse!

That's annoying, I do:

char units_array[20][17];
char data_array[20][80];

and I get a subscript out of range error.

Thanks for your help</font>

20 * 80 = 1600 bytes. Check 18F252 datasheet for RAM size

Damn, 1536. So close ;) That'll teach me to get complacent.

Thanks anyway.
