High-Address into the accumulator in asm using only LDA

[Brax02]

Hello,

I have declare a table like that.

ABC:                DC.W  $1234          

The address of ABC is in my example 0xF200

I want to load in the accumulator 0xF2 only using a LDA command.

LDA  #ABC==> A=0x0, 0x0 is the LSB of the address and not the MSB of the address 0xF2

How can i do that ?

for sure I can do something like but it's not the goal.

          LDHX #ABC  ; HX = F200

          PSHH         

          PULA          ;A=0xF2

I believe you want to use the HIGH operator in this case, at least for CodeWarrior's built-in HCS08 assembler.

E.g.

LDA #HIGH(ABC)

[Brax02]

I was exactly looking for that ! Thanks a lot !!

Hello,

The following alternatives should also work -

   lda #(ABC/256)

   lda #(ABC>>8)

The calculation is done during assembly.
