Problems setting INTCONx registers in 18F4550

[jellis00]

I am coding for a PIC 18F4550 with PBP 2.6. I need to set some of the bits in the INCON2, INCON3 and RCON registers and keep getting syntax errors at compile time for the following statements. As far as I can see in the Datasheet and the PBP manual these are correct syntax yet the errors. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with these?

' Interrupts Settings
    RCON = %10000000      ' Set Interrupt Priority Enable bit (Bit7=IPEN) 
                          ' to enable priority levels on interrupts
    INTCON.7 = 1          ' Set Global Interrupt Enable bit
    INTCON2.7 = 1         ' Enable PORTB Pull-ups (Bit7-high), set INT2 for
                          ' falling edge (Bit4-low) on RTC's interrupt.
    INTCON3 = %10010000   ' Set INT2 high priority (Bit7-high), enable INT2
                          ' (Bit4-high)
    RTC_INT_FLG  VAR INTCON3.1 'Alias for RB4 INTA interrupt from RTC

I hesitate to say this as I guess you must be an experienced PBP programmer - have you selected the chip type as 18F4550 in the 'chip select' box?

Thanks, Bill. . Even experienced programmers have their senior moments. I should have looked at the device setting all along
