Aha. Well that's the problem then; you're doing it wrong. 8) I will point out that even if the assembler DIDN'T hink with your branches you'd have the same problem. If one of your branches was OOR you'd have to change it to a long yourself, and then you can't use a calculated offset into the table, because the entries are of different sizes (unless you make them ALL longs). Blech. No, make that double blech. Much better is the approach I suggested in the previous message: the one I THOUGHT you were using. Never, EVER build a table of branches, that's simply asking for trouble (as you have pointed out). Instead, build a table of ADDRESSES. Index into the table (which will always remain orthogonal), pick up the address, then do an indirect jump, branch, or call as needed. Using your example it would be something like: LSL #2,D0 ASSUMES D0 CONTAINS BASE ZERO ORDINAL OF VECTOR LEA MYLAB,A0 LOAD BASE OF VECTOR TABLE INTO A0 MOVEA.L 0(A0,D0.W),A0 PICK UP ADDRESS OF ROUTINE TO USE JMP (A0) JUMP INDIRECT OFF OF A0 MYLAB: DC.L FUNC1,FUNC2,FUNC3,…FUNCN There are a zillion ways to code it, of course… this one is intended for clarity. <continued>
