Disabling MCLR pin

[lerameur]

I am trying to disable the MCLR pin because I am using it to do a LCDOUT on that Pin.
I am using a PIC16F88.
I read this thread but it is not helping me out.
I still get compiling error.. illegal upcode

'LCD testing program  and Clock viewing

INCLUDE "modedefs.bas"
 OSCCON = %01110000 '8 Mhz
 Define OSC 8 

CMCON = 7 : ANSEL = 0 : ADCON1 = 7 
@ DEVICE pic16F88, MCLR_OFF

DATA sheets are your friend.
Please read the chips DATA sheet and make it happy
MCLR is an input only.

I guess I have to find a way to use the LCd another way then, I need the SDA and SCL pins and the Vref,s pins....

also how come do I get the illegal upcode ???
