Writing to non-volatile memory?[stares into space]

They say the first sign of madness is talking to yourself....

ok, seek and you shall find as the saying goes, and it should be no surprise that DT has a hand in the solution...

ok, out the blocks I'm getting an error (this'll be the plea for help bit!)

pattern var byte
@  EE_var  _pattern, byte, 1  ; Link an EE variable to it.

(the variable I want to track & store has the name 'pattern')

gives a compilation error....

"Symbol not previously defined (byte)" for it seems the following bolded asm line....

EE_assign  macro   Name , Value, Size               
  local Assign_Done
  nolist
    if ((EE_PTR + Size) >= EEPROM_SIZE )      list
        error "EEPROM is Full, Could not Fit", Name
    endif

Any ideas?

The PIC I'm using is a PIC16f1824
