Not sure what you mean, but ...

The Main file that you are compiling determines the processor for all the include files too.

If you are trying to compile the include file by itself, you probably just need to change the chip in the drop-down box in MicroCode Studio.

Right you are, Mr. Taylor! I had the dropdown wrong (it defaults to 16f628).
All is well once again, thank you! (I must be lacking film)

The INCLUDE file now compiles fine, but trying to compile the "Main" program causes the "Unable to open INCLUDE file NUM TEST.BAS" error. Both of the files shown below are located in c:\Program Files\Mecanique\MCS.


This is "936 include test2" file:

Pause 1000 ;for ICSP

LCDSE4 = %11111111
LCDSE5 = %11

LCDCON = %11011111 ;enable LCD module
pause 10


gosub Dig1_1

goto Main




This is "num test" file:

Dig1_1: LCDDATA7.0 = 1
LCDDATA4.0 = 1
LCDDATA18.6 = 1
RETURN

Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thank you.

Possibly another MCS default.

It saves new files as .PBP unless you specify .BAS
The include statements show .BAS

[jderson]

Yes, thank you! Changing the name in the main program from .bas to .pbp fixed it.

[jderson]

Well, I am wrong, again! The INCLUDE file compiles, but the main program doesn't display the number "1" in the first position when i use the INCLUDE file. When I move the contents of the INCLUDE file to the main program, it works. I have tried this with other combinations of files and file names, but it just won't work! Any ideas?

[Darrel Taylor]

Total guess.
Violation of INCLUDE rule #1.

Execution of the program must not be allowed to "Fall into" a Subroutine.

Place a GOTO before, to a place AFTER any subroutines in the Include file.
