    Default PIC18F4550 Error[128] Missing Arguments

    I have some problems with MicroCode Studio, I've tried to compile a simple program that turns on and off a LED using pic18f4550, I've change the INC file for the compiler get off the warning CONFIG Directive. But now I got this error message:
    Error[128] c:\pbp246\18f4550.inc 20: Missing argument(s) (configuration byte setting is missing)
    Error[128] c:\pbp246\18f4550.inc 21: Missing argument(s) (configuration byte setting is missing)
    Error[128] c:\pbp246\18f4550.inc 22: Missing argument(s) (configuration byte setting is missing)
    Error[128] c:\pbp246\18f4550.inc 23: Missing argument(s) (configuration byte setting is missing)
    Error[128] c:\pbp246\18f4550.inc 24: Missing argument(s) (configuration byte setting is missing)

    I'm new programing pic's and i don't understand the error, please please help me!!!!

    here's how the INC file says:
    Code:
     ;****************************************************************

    Thanks for answering
    Yes you are right I've already read that, but I believe that's not the problem, al least the Error[128] have something to do with the CONGIF directive, 'cause when I change the INC file, the error about it dissapears.
    The Error[128]: c:\pbp246\pic18f4550.inc 20: Missing arguments (configuration byte setting is missing), I believe the numbers are for the all lines in the INC file that have problems (20-24) and yes... that lines are the CONFIG.
    Anyway I tried the solution that Darrel gave, but the error stills here!!!
    More ideas, please I really need them!!!

    The format of your config lines are incorrect.

    Code:
        CONFIG =   CONFIG1L, _PLLDIV_5_1L & _CPUDIV_OSC1_PLL2_1L & _USBDIV_2_1L
    Should be ...
    Code:
        __CONFIG   _CONFIG1L, _PLLDIV_5_1L & _CPUDIV_OSC1_PLL2_1L & _USBDIV_2_1L
    |          |
    |          1 underscore
    2 underscores

    and probably not a bad idea to add what's in red, just to disable the warning message forever.

    Code:
    LIST p = 18F4550, r = dec, w = -311, w = -230, f = inhx32

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

    Problem solve, the error 128 was gone forever.
    But now I have another one , the error 113, can you tell me how can I fix it, it says something like this:
    Error[113]: c\pbp246\pic18f4550.inc 20: Symbol not previusly defined (_PLLDIV_5_1L)
    Error[113]: c\pbp246\pic18f4550.inc 20: Symbol not previusly defined (_CPUDIV_OSC1_PLL2_1L)
    Error[113]: c\pbp246\pic18f4550.inc 24: Symbol not previusly defined (_ICPRT_OFF_4L)
    Error[113]: c\pbp246\pic18f4550.inc 24: Symbol not previusly defined (_XINST_OFF_4L)

    Can you post the modified inc file. Looks like the same lines are giving trouble, you just told the system not to tell you about 128. Now it is trying to tell you there is still a problem.

    Code:

    It's high likely a MPASM/MPLAB problem here. Doesn't return any error using your file above...
