A strange problem

[tasmod]

Maybe try

LCDOUT $FE, $80, DEC2 A

[tasmod]

Or try

LCDOUT $FE, $80, #A

Thanks tasmod, with this statement "LCDOUT $ FE, $ 80, # A" now everything seems to work ok. But what has changed? I have always used "DEC A" and has always worked. What is the problem? Thank you again

Nothing changed. You forgot $80 before your variable.

No, it is so, even this statement "LCDOUT $FE,$80,DEC A" does not work.

I always did this from early PicBasic days. Can't remember why.

#A Meaning the decimal representation of an ASCII value.
I always assumed that in a loop declared as a character, the loop iterated the character the number of times in the loop (i.e. first time round, A=1 in decimal but A was still a character representing that value)

Hope that makes sense.

Thank you for your interest, but I do not understand is that I have used this statement thousands of times with the 18F252 that I used before. Now I'm in trouble because I need to show the value of "A" sometimes using two digits (DEC2) and sometimes three digits (DEC3) and I do not know how.
