Hi Micheal

There's no way it could be shorter using movc a,@A+PC , as it would have to be a subroutine call.
And the first instruction after movc a,@A+PC ,has to be RET,which also means that the value 0 cannot be passed to the table call,or the RET opcode is passed back..

Using the PC is the way that literals are passed in the PIC assembler using the RETLW instruction.
