USART Problem Receiving Bytes

[CocaColaKid]

main:
    if RCIF = 1 then                            ' If RCIF=1 there's a new character in RCREG
        BytesIn[ByteCnt] = RCREG                ' Yes. Then store it in array
        if BytesIn[ByteCnt] = eom then OutMsg
        ByteCnt = ByteCnt + 1                   ' Increment array index pointer 
    endif
    goto Main

This code works great but how can I send the value 23? If I try it assumes each character is a byte when they are not.

not sure of me but what about

        HSERIN [str BytesIn\ByteInArraySize\eom]

I think part of my problem lies in the fact that I'm using the Serial Communicator in MCSP. I think anything you enter in the transmit window is by default send as ascii. However if this in in fact the case then I have no way to send 23 since the ascii representation of 23 is "end of transmission block".

Parse Control Characters

When enabled, the parse control characters option enables you to send control characters in your message, using either a decimal or hexadecimal notation. For example, if you want to send hello world followed by a carriage return and line feed character, you would use hello world#13#10 for decimal, or hello world$D$A for hex. Only numbers in the range 0 to 255 will be converted. For example, sending the message letter #9712345 will be interpreted as letter a12345.

If the sequence of characters does not form a legal number, the sequence is interpreted as normal characters. For example, hello world#here I am. If you don't want characters to be interpreted as a control sequence, but rather send it as normal characters, then all you need to do is use the tilda symbol (~). For example, letter ~#9712345 would be sent as letter #9712345.

I was just going to post that. Thanks.
