Hello:

I need a way to generate code based on settings specified in another file. I believe in C this was done using an include file but I do not know if or how it can be done in Dynamic C and was hoping you could either provide me with the information or at least point me in the right direction so I can research it myself. I’m just having a hard time finding anything online.

Just so you can better understand what I’m looking for, here is my problem. I use this code to program a device, and I do many of these a week with the only changes to the code being a few lines like I mentioned above. To help with the work load, I’d like to be able to have some of the other people do it as well but I don’t want them to have to sort through the source code to try and find the lines. I’d like for them to be able to open a file/program, change some settings and then the rest is taken care of.

Thanks in advance for you help,

Russell

In Dynamic C you can use #USE

Take a look at the Dynamic C Users manual located at

I hope this helps
