Ok, I found all 3 problems:

The CCASM manual states (I think) that when using conditional statements 
like IF/COND, etc. that no comment can trail the conditional expression.  I 
will fix this eventually, but for now it confuses the comment for part of 
the expression.

For now, unions must be defined inside of a structure in order for them to 
work properly.  I'm not sure if a stand-alone union will work because it 
deals with absolute addresses while embedded unions are assigned offsets 
from 0 (or relative from a structure's base address).  So, branching 
directly to a union address is not ideal, but possible.

CCASM procedures is not an attempt to duplicate EDTASM macros.  I haven't 
implemented macros yet, although there may be some similarities.  CCASM 
procedures actually generate 6809 code when needed for building a stack 
frame and accessing static variables and passed parameters on the stack, etc.
