Warning and Message

[Dave]

dhouston, I would look at the .LST file and find the occurance of "warning" and then see what variable it is trying to manipulate. This should give you a clue...

Here's the .LST file section...

00F9   0918               M         call    SEROUT
                      00078         SEROUT?C        0FFA9h
Warning[202]: Argument out of range.  Least significant bits used.
00FA   0CA9               M         movlw   0FFA9h
                          M         L?CALL  SEROUT

By commenting out each SerOut instance (one-by-one) and recompiling, I isolated it to the copyright message. Without it, both the warning and message go away.

I'll have to wait until Digikey ships my 12F509 chips to test it.

dhouston , I just ran your code and if you get rid of the copyright character the code compiles... Where are you getting the copyright symbol anyways? I don't think the assembler understands it....

It was copied and pasted from my source code for an Atmel AVR compiler. The ASCII chart in Appendix D of the PBP manual only goes to 127 so any extended character is likely to cause this. © is ascii 169 (depending on the font).

EDIT: The same copyright line compiles and works OK with a 12F629. It must be a limitation of the 12-bit cores. Anything greater than Ascii 126 causes the error.
