how store constant data tables in ROM memory

[global]

Hello,
I'am using a PIC 16F877A, i have problem memory space in RAM , and i want to know if its possible to store constant tables of data in ROM, knowing that i need to use this data during the program.

for example :
int8 API_PP_ACCESS_RIGHT_REQ[7]={0x66,0x85,0x01,0xFF,0xFF,0x12,0x34};

-> how store this Table in ROM?

Thanks

Thanks for your answerd but i don't use datas of the table one by one, i send all the table in parameter of a function and when i use this kind of definition i can't send all the table in parameter.

for example:
int8 BUS_SELECT_REQ[]={0x2E,0x2F,0x01};
.
.
.
.
send_info(3,BUS_SELECT_REQ); // function who use the table

the function send info use all the constant of the table. With the "const" definition it doesn't works.

Sorry for my english

Since the data tables are "global" in scope and you know in advance what their names are, make the 2nd parameter of your function call a code word. Then inside the function if you receive the code word 1, use data table #1, if you get 2, use datatable #2, etc.

Alternatively, make the multiple tables into a single 2 dimensional array (this also means there is only one 'decoder' overhead for the constant declaration), and just send the second dimension value to the function.

Thanks for your help, I use your tips and i also found a function to include on my header

#device *=16

Now i've got more space in RAM.
