Assembler errors trying to use MIBAM

I have been trying to use the simple example of MYBAM, but keep getting two assembler errors.
I have posted the code below.

First, MYBAM is installed in C:\PBPW.EXE

I have the processor type (18F2520) selected correctly (other programs assemble correctly)

Since an 18F device is selected, assembling with MPASM is required and selected

I have PBPL selected since the final program will be using LONGS

I'm using PBP2.60.

The two errors I get are:

Error 129 xxxxxxx\mybam.asm 1 : expected (end)
Error 131 xxxxxxxx\mybam.asm 1 : processor type is undefined

As is usually the case with me, some stupid omission somewhere, but I can't find it

Below is the code, mostly cut and pasted from the example - all I changed was the RED - GREEN - BLUE definitions to L1B L2B L3B

Code:

End

The BAM_PIN (PORTC,0, L1B) statements define the PIN used and the dutycycle variable.

But instead of a byte variable for the dutycycle, L1B, L2B and L3B are defined as the PINs again.

Change them to ...

Code:

---

L1B VAR BYTE ;PORTC.0
L2B VAR BYTE ;PORTC.2
L3B VAR BYTE ;PORTC.4

Thanks Darrel

I see where that was an error - I made the changes but still get the same two assembler errors . . . .

Ken

The "processor type is undefined" error usually means that MicroCode studio is pointing to the wrong MPASM installation.

In MCS go to View > Compile and Program Options > assembler tab.
The path above the "Find" buttons should read ... c:\program files\microchip\mpasm suite
On 64-bit systems it's ... c:\program files (x86)\microchip\mpasm suite

If the path is different, click the "Find manually" button and point it to the correct folder.

Thanks...

That is not it however - the path is correct . I have been assembling and compiling a large program for this project, with no problems. When trying to assemble this small sample program is when I get the errors. As soon as I include MYBAM I get the error. If I comment out that include, and the related MIBAM program, it assembles fine.
???
thanks

You may want to download the MIBAM.pbp file again. Maybe you got a bad download.

I've compiled your program here (after the L1B, L2B, L3B changes) and there's no errors.

If you still have problems, send me the .LST file. (support at melabs.com)

Thanks Darell

I did try downloading MIBAM a couple of times with the same results.

I just sent a copy of the .lst file to the support address - -

Thanks to DT's expert help, my problem has been solved. It was my problem, because I named my program MYBAM - which caused the assembly problems. Don't name your programs the same as the macro - - -

Ken

NOT MYBAM - - - MIBAM
