how to allocate large arrays in CCS

@cableone.net says...

I don't think so.  If I'm reading the manual correct that is too large
for a single entity.

From the online help:
A subscript to a RAM array must be at least 1 and not more than 128
elements.  Note that large arrays might not fit in a bank. ROM arrays
may not occupy more than 256 locations.

I read that as a big NO for your char array[512]

Thanks, Jim.

I guess I'll break it down into multiple smaller arrays.

I never really noticed the limitation before, so I leaned something too.  
I think the largest array I ever used in a PIC project was a 128 byte
serial buffer.  So, I never bumped into it.

I'm trying to construct a buffer to hold the contents of a Compact Flash
read.  The buffer is 512 bytes long.  I'm using a PIC18LF2525, which in
itself has plenty of data space (3986 bytes) but I didn't remember to
consider page boundaries, etc.

I saw a FAQ in the databook concerning how to allocate table arrays up to
256 bytes but I couldn't find the reference to the limitation on RAM arrays.
Where did you dind that reference?  I didn't run across it in the online
help, either.

...I'm just getting old and blind...

Thanks

Using the CCS help that's in/available from the compiler, I did a search
for "array".  The best place to find it is in the error message listing.  
They have several array error messages and one of them has the text I
posted.
