No hex file...?

Hi. I'm new. I'm trying to program a Microchip 16lf737 using a JDM programmer. The program I wrote produces a PIC14EXT file but does not produce a hex file. Thinking it was my program, I tried to compile a sample program, but it did the same thing (except it produced a PIC12EXT file and no hex file). I have the most recent patch for PIC BASIC PRO.

I've checked online but can't find any references to hex files. Any thoughts?

Thank you greatly.

I manually included the 16F737.BAS file and built my program on it.

So, the system was trying to "double" define the chip parameters during compilation. Instead of throwing an error, it just did nothing at all.

FWIW - in case someone else makes the same mistake
