Hi Andrew,
That's strange - there's incosistent behaviour here. In the section on
Assertions in the BlackBox Programming Conventions only the values 0 ..
127 are listed. If you follow their recommendations you should only use
values in the range 0..120 and 126.
If you attempt to use a value greater than 128 the compiler gives the
error message:
'illegal value of parameter (0<= p < 128)'
It seems it should, but is not, trapping the error at compile-time when
the parameter = 128.
