Weird compile issue 7 segment LED display

I'm trying to get Les Johnsons 2 segment LED multiplexer running - however it's not compiling, rather than using an include I'm putting his code directly into my program as I have to modify it for the chip I'm using (PIC16F88) and find it more conveniant to have one file instead of 2.

The compile issue is coming up on line 109 - which is a blank line just after Les's code finishes and mine begins, it says it's a syntax error - when it's just a blank line??? If I delete the line it says line 108 has a syntax error.

I also cannot see how it gets to the Display: section of the code as i can't see any gosub pointing it there I'm using code designer lite and PBP2.46 ANy help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Well... the first line of your code is:

Code:

'*** MY CODE BEGINS HERE *** For b0 = b0 + 1

Is this supposed to be the beginning of a "FOR... NEXT" or is that "FOR" in there by accident?

Sweet thanks arch - I'd just overlooked it, it's compiled now, however it came up with a different error: INLINE~1.ASM 81 : [212] Extra Tokens on End of Line

What does this mean?

Thanks

Here's what error 212 means (from the help file "PM.TXT" in the PBP folder):

Quote:

212 Extra Tokens on End of Line

Some initial portion of the current line assembled correctly, but
additional assembly tokens remain unprocessed. This is often the result of
a syntax error (extra parameters, misplaced or missing punctuation, etc.).
Code is generated for the correct initial portion of the line.

And here's the cause...

Code:

@ DEVICE PIC16F88 INTRC_OSC, WDT_OFF, MCLR_OFF, BOD_ON

There should be a comma after "PIC16F88"...
@ DEVICE PIC16F88, INTRC_OSC, WDT_OFF, MCLR_OFF, BOD_ON

There's still the issue of never getting to the "Display" subroutine though.

Thanks - got it sorted, I just had to put a gosub in my code to point to display anytime I wanted the display to update
