ld hl,varname B_CALL Mov9toOp1 B_CALL ChkFindSym jr c,notfound ;carry flag is set if the VAT entry is not found ex de,hl ;put data pointer into hl xor a cp b ;see if b is 0, and the program is in the ram jr z,unarchived ;if so, jump to unarchived ;do something to get it into RAM unarchived: ;do something once it is in RAM varName: .db AppVarObj, "APPVAR",0
