Ok-- I will do it the easy way
thing:
cp 1
jr z, filla
cp 2
jr z, fillb
cp 3
jr z, fillc
ret

filla:
ld hl, texta
ROM_CALL(D_ZT_STR)
ret

fillb:
ld hl, textb
ROM_CALL(D_ZT_STR)
ret

fillc:
ld hl, textc
ROM_CALL(D_ZT_STR)
ret

texta:
.db "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
.db "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
.db "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
.db "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
.db "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
.db "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
.db "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
.db "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA",0

textb:
.db "BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB"
.db "BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB"
.db "BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB"
.db "BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB"
.db "BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB"
.db "BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB"
.db "BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB"
.db "BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB",0

textc:
.db "CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC"
.db "CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC"
.db "CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC"
.db "CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC"
.db "CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC"
.db "CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC"
.db "CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC"
.db "CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC",0
