Why don't continuation lines work in EEPROM command?

[Peterf]

EEPROM 0,(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
works.

EEPROM 0,(1, 2, 3, _
4, 5, 6)
does not work. This means if one has a long table of data one cannot break it up into meaningful lines, let alone comment them.

Welcome to the forum !.

Put the underscore hard-up against the comma, don't use a space.

eeprom 0,(1,2,3,_
4,5,6)

EDIT : Which version of PE are you using ?

 

[Peterf]

Thanks, that seems to work (thought I'd tried that actually, but evidently not). 6.0.7.5

Continuation characters should work with a space before them, do when I try it, but must be the last character on a line. If there are trailing spaces or tabs that might be causing an issue.
