I got this from the CCS manual, it looks like they allow pointers to some built in functions but not user functions.

Quote:

Attempt to create a pointer to a constant

Constant tables are implemented as functions. Pointers cannot be created to functions. For example CHAR CONST MSG[9]={"HI THERE"}; is permitted, however you cannot use &MSG. You can only reference MSG with subscripts such as MSG[i] and in some function calls such as Printf and STRCPY.

So it looks like if you want to pass a pointer you have to use the roundabout way I described above.

Looks like that might be it. Sure would have made for some cleaner code if it was possible. Thanks for all your help. If I hear anything from CCS, I'll let you know. Best Regards _________________ - Steve
