    Default PBP LONG and string-formatting not working ?

    Hi all,
    I'm using PbP3.1 with a PIC18F device.
    I need to use the LONG option in a particular program, but seems like the string-formatting modifier does not work properly.
    For example

    Code:
    FileOffset VAR WORD
    FileOffset=12345 
    Hserout2 ["Fileoffset=",DEC FileOffset,13,10]
    Should send this string
    Code:
    Fileoffset=12345
    but I see only this
    Code:
    Fileoffset=,
    Also the other modifiers BIN, HEX does not work
    If I remove the "LONG" option in the compiler settings the string is formatted properly.

    Any idea ?

    That's weird. I'm working on a large project right now, have LONGs enabled and, except for one thing*, have not noticed any such problems. Have been using DEC, BIN, HEX extensively.

    You show a comma being output after the equal-sign, is that actually being output or is that an error?

    Have you tried with HSEROUT instead of HSEROUT2? Have you tried actually USING a LONG as your variable, instead of a WORD as you're currently doing (both should work of course).

    The one thing I stumbled upon is that using the #modifier does not work properly with LONG variables as it rolls over at 65535 so when outputting decimal digits of a LONG variable I had to specifically use DEC.

    ok, it seems troubles are related to a wrong use of "DEFINE RESET_ORG" statement (I'm working on a bootloader code).
    Without it everything works fine also with the "PBP LONG" option enabled.
    Thanks

    I see just now your reply. As I told, removing the "DEFINE RESET_ORG" statement then no problem at all.
    And yes, I also discovered the # does not work and a DEC is required.
    Thanks !

    Me again guys, problem still exist....

    I'm working on a bootloader, based on this thread
    This code require the PBP LONG option enabled as I have to write code above 64K and LONG variables are required.
    In my adapted bootloader code, I have to use HEX and DEC modifiers, as in the example of the first post.
    Testing normally with ORG 0, everything work fine, but then the code needs to be compiled with

    "DEFINE RESET_ORG 1D800h ' Move all library sub and code to start from that location "

    so the bootloader will stay in the last area of the memory.
    And with this DEFINE, the first line where I use a DEC or HEX modifiers cause a reset of the chip.

    Hope I have explained well. I don't know what to do now.
    Not using DEC or HEX is really hard, they are very powerful ....
    Any idea ?

    I'm turning crazy ... I see the problem also without the PBP LONG option

    I copy here the full code to show the problem.

    Code:
    DEFINE RESET_ORG 1EC00h
