  I defined this in my code:

  DEFINE_CONSTANT
  char cSome[12]	= "'E0A',$02,'02D30002'"
  

  
  and found an error in compiling
  

  ERROR: d:\jobs\research\testing.axs(83): C10583: Too many elements in initializer  
  

  
  So, what I did was just to omit the 12 so it becomes cSome[].
  
  When I did a send_command like

  SEND_COMMAND dvTV,"'PASSTHRU-',cSome"
  

  
  and looking into the diagnostic window, it seems that the quotes are also sent. What am I doing wrong?

  
  Try this:

  DEFINE_CONSTANT
  char cSome[]	= {'E','0','A',$02,'0','2','D','3','0','0','0','2'}
  

  
  For an explanation check out Tech Note 531: How to Initialize Character Strings in the DEFINE_CONSTANT and DEFINE_VARIABLE Sections
