7.7.8 EXPORTAS
The EXPORTAS directive allows you to export a symbol to the object file, corresponding
to a different symbol in the source file.
Syntax
EXPORTAS symbol1, symbol2
where:
symbol1 is the symbol name in the source file. symbol1 must have been defined
already. It can be any symbol, including an area name, a label, or a
constant.
symbol2 is the symbol name you want to appear in the object file.
The symbol names are case-sensitive.
Usage
Use EXPORTAS to change a symbol in the object file without having to change every
instance in the source file.
See also EXPORT or GLOBAL on page 7-58.
