12F675: DEC modifier not accepted

I get a "bad expression" error in Microcode Studio on the SEROUT line below. When I remove the "DEC" modifier all works fine. Is there any reason DEC shouldn't be working here?

I'm using Microcode Studio 2.2.1.1

Thanks!

Jeff

I did, and it compiles OK with SEROUT2

The Fabulous Manual says black on white to use # with SEROUT.

RTFM???

You're right... TFM does indeed say "A numeric value preceded by a pound sign ( # ) will send the ASCII representation of its decimal value. For example, if W0 = 123, then #W0 (or #123) will send '1', '2', '3'. "

I glanced through it but missed it since what I was looking for was:

Modifier Operation

{I}{S}BIN{1..16} Send binary digits

{I}{S}DEC{1..5} Send decimal digits

{I}{S}HEX{1..4} Send hexadecimal digits

REP c\n Send character c repeated n times

STR ArrayVar{\n} Send string of n characters


Which is found in the SEROUT2 section.

My bad, and I appreciate the helpful responses.
