'when using $ramstart , you don't have to specify XRAM
'XRAM is used automatic
'when you need an internal variable, you must specify IRAM
'Dim z as IRAM byte

Dim Cx As Integer
Dim Wx As Word
Dim S As String * 10
Dim Zz As Iram Byte


Declare Sub Test(a As Xram Byte , B1 As Xram Byte)'declare the subs

'The external variables can be used as "normal" variables


S = "123"

Bx = 5 + Val(s) : Print Bx
'It is ok to use a function for one of the parameters but it has
'to be the first parameter. So 5 + val() will work and val() + 5 will NOT work.

Bx = 50 : Cx = 1000
Wx = Bx * Cx
Print Wx

'also note that variables are global
