Why LCD won't work with RS connected to PortA.6 of 18F452?
I am going crazy trying to figure out answer to this question. When I connect RS to PortA.5 of the 18F452 LCD works fine. However when RS is connected to PortA.6 of the 18F452 it doesn't. I checked the data sheet and both RA5 and RA6 ports are I/O TTL pins and no indication that open drain requires pull-up resistor to be used as ouput as it does on RA4.
Yet I notice during simulation with Proteus VSM that pin PortA.5 is held continuously at low level while LCD is working, but when PortA.6 is used, Proteus VSM shows gray value for the pin indicating it is not being held at low level when LCD is not working.
Can anyone explain to me what is going on here and why the LCD works with PortA.5 and not with PortA.6 connected to RS? I am attaching a partial screen snapshot in a .pdf of my Proteus VSM simulation to show the logic levels on the pins. I will also list my code.

Re: Why LCD won't work with RS connected to PortA.6 of 18F452?
Did you read the following notes on page 31 of the datasheet:
5: Bit 6 of PORTA, LATA, and TRISA are enabled in ECIO and RCIO Oscillator modes only. In all other
Oscillator modes, they are disabled and read ’0’.
6: Bit 6 of PORTA, LATA and TRISA are not available on all devices. When unimplemented, they are read ’0’.
Al.
Re: Why LCD won't work with RS connected to PortA.6 of 18F452?
Thanks Al! That little bit of pertinent info is well hidden in the data sheet. The I/O section doesn't even mention this limitaton for pin PortA.6. Since my device has this pin I guess item 5: as you listed applies in my case.
Now I have to figure out how to set Oscillator ECIO or RCIO mode. I'm now trying to figure out how to set the configs to do this for the 18F452.
