LCD SEROUT2 help

SEROUT2     lcd,396,[$FE,1,#variable]

[CSU_2010]

I got this code to work:

DEFINE OSC 8			'Internal Oscillator set to 8mhz
OSCCON.4=1
OSCCON.5=1
OSCCON.6=1

ANSEL=0				'Turns off A/D converter

lcd	Var PORTB.5

tag1	Var	BYTE

Pause 500

SEROUT lcd,0,[$FE,1]

Pause 200

SEROUT lcd,0,[$FE,1,"Test"]

Pause 2000

SEROUT2 lcd,396,[$FE,$C0,"2nd Line???"]

tag1=123

SEROUT2 lcd,396,[$FE,$94,DEC tag1]

But now I'm trying to get a ten digit number to display, something like

1000504B02

and i keep getting errors.

How are you storing this 10 digit number? In an array?

[CSU_2010]

I'm not really sure how to store it, I tried just putting

tag1=100050A4B7

But it truncates and displays only "FF"

[mackrackit]

The easy way would be

tag1	Var	LONG

If you are using PBP 2.50

Otherwise I would say you need to store it an array.

[CSU_2010]

This is what I tried:

buf		VAR BYTE(10)	'Tag code stored as word

SERIN2 rx,396,[STR buf\10]

SEROUT2 lcd,396,[$FE,$C0,STR buf\10]

The LCD then displays a three digit display but it's symbols and not anything readable.

I am feeling lazy, so I will point you here.
