Can anyone tell how to view a value of an equated symbol thru Debug?
While looking at some variable values thru Debug, I tried to look at a value of an equated symbol. Got the message "NOT IN SYMBOL TABLE". To check myself, I re-ran the program with the Debug right before the Equate statements and checked the values right after they were succesfully set and got the same "NOT IN SYMBOL TABLE" message. Is there any way to look at the values within an equated symbol?
I would rather not have to take some things on blind faith if I can help it.
Thank You,
Michael Slack

An equate is essentially a compiler pre-directive - in other words at compile time your equated variable is replaced with the literal value. Thus you cannot look at it in the debugger. The only way is to say X=Var$ and then look at X but that kinda kills the point of equates.
