EXTERN - Declare an Externally Defined Label

Syntax

extern <label> [, <label>...]

Description

For use when generating an object file. Declares symbol names that may be used in the current module but are defined as global in a different module.

The extern statement must be included before the <label> is used. At least one label must be specified on the line. If <label> is defined in the current module, MPASM assembler will generate a duplicate label error.

For more information, refer to Relocatable Objects.
