The GET directive includes a file within the
file being assembled. The included file is assembled at the location
of the GET directive. INCLUDE is a synonym
for GET.
GETfilename
where:
filenameis the name of the file to be included in the assembly. The assembler accepts pathnames in MS-DOS format.
GET is useful for including macro definitions, EQUs,
and storage maps in an assembly. When assembly of the included file
is complete, assembly continues at the line following the GET directive.
By default the assembler searches the current place for included
files. The current place is the directory where the calling file
is located. Use the -i assembler command-line option
to add directories to the search path. File names and directory
names containing spaces must not be enclosed in double quotes (
" " ).
The included file can contain additional GET directives to include other files (see Nesting directives).
If the included file is in a different directory from the current place, this becomes the current place until the end of the included file. The previous current place is then restored.
GET cannot be used to include object files (see INCBIN).
