I recently installed the latest firmware in my Maximite & the latest version of MM Edit.

I like not having to use line numbers, but I cannot find out how to insert labels for GOTO & GOSUB.

I searched in the MMedit.pdf & the MMedit Help but all I could find (of course it may be staring me in the face) was the following.

"With MM Edit you can convert code that has line numbers to code with labels"

I was able to convert the code I had written with line numbers to code with labels, but now I want to add another sub routine. I cannot see how to insert a label for the GOSUB.

It is easy to do it for PIC programmes in the Microchip MPLAB IDE using assembly code, but I can't see how to do it in MMEdit.

Any assistance will be appreciated.

Best way forward is to use defined subroutines and functions.
Using labels for subroutines is not preferred.
Try to code without the use of GOTO, only when it will be more clear what the code is doing. Not jump around!

[code]
SayHello
PRINT "5 squared = " SquareIt(5)

SUB SayHello
PRINT 'Hello from MySubroutine'
END SUB

FUNCTION SquareIt(value)
SquareIt = value * value
END FUNCTION
[/code]

Thanks Cliff,
So it is essentially that same as assembly in MPLAB.

Thanks for that info, I'll try it.
