Problem with concatenating labels

My main question is; Can parameters in a Macro be combined to form a label?

We are experiencing problems with assembling code that was assembled with the AVOCET AVMAC 68HC11 assembler. Semi-Avocet Compatibility is enabled. The central file that needs to be compiled is the AVMACS.INC file which is used on all of our modules.

The main problem seems to be with concatenating labels. In the following example “I” in the FOR statement is combined with xxSTK. to create a parameter to the macro xxDEFL which is used to then define a Label. When xxSTACK is called I get an error in xxDEFL that states; A1602 Invalid character at end of label (xxSTK.&). The assembler obviously doesn’t understand the use of an ampersand “&”. Is there some other why of concatenating parameters to form labels?

xxPTR TEQ 0

xxSTK TEQ 0

xxTYP TEQ 0

xxDEFL MACRO Label_A,Val_B

Label_A TEQ Val_B

ENDM

xxSTACK MACRO TYPE,SYMBOL

xxDEFL xxTYP, TYPE

xxDEFL xxSTK, SYMBOL

FOR I in (xxPTR)

xxDEFL xxSTK.&I, SYMBOL

ENDFOR

ENDM

xxSTACK 3, 4

The AVMAC manual has the following example:

FOR dig in 1,2,3,4

data&dig&nam ds 2

ENDFOR

assembles as

data1nam ds 2

data2nam ds 2

data3nam ds 2

data4nam ds 2

Is there any way to convert this code to work on the S12(X) assembler?

Has anyone converted the AVMACS.INC file to work on the S12(X) assembler?
