Error code [112]/[113]

[Dj tempo]

hi im new to both this site and PIC micro controllers.

i like to learn the program and solve things myself, but im at the point of nearly pulling my hair out. i require some help.

i have compiled a new program to interface a PIC16F84A with a 4x20 LCD display.

i have 2 error codes left showing in the programe using notepad:

Error[113] : Symbol not previously defined (MOVLW)

Error[112] : Missing operator

how do i fix these errors?

some of error code as follows:

any help much apreciated.

First, upgrade to the latest Microchip IDE. You're using MPASM 5.01. I think they're up to MPASM 5.11 (don't remember for sure). Not sure if that'll make a difference or not.
Second, post your source.
Third, what are you using for a compiler?

[Darrel Taylor]

First, upgrading MPASM won't help. (won't hurt)
Second, he posted the code, it's in the listing.
Third, he's not using a compiler, just an assembler.

Dj,

Couple problems here. <pre>Warning[207]: Found label after column 1. (TMR0)<br> 00000001 00003 TMR0 EQU 1 ;TMR0 is FILE 1</pre>The LABEL of an EQUate should be in column 1.

TMR0    EQU 1           ; This will work
        TMR0    EQU 1   ; This will NOT

The letter B is a "Reserved Word". It is a Pseudo-op for BRANCH.
So just use longer (more descriptive) Labels to avoid using reserved words.

That'll take care of [113] and [112] which is caused by the 113 error.

I haven't looked at the logic of the program, just the errors.

HTH,

[Dj tempo]

thanx guys, sorted now.
