Diference between PK3 and production programmer

[Ioannis]

Thnaks Henrik. It was impossible to find this! Strange word...

Thanks...
But microchip local distributor try to convince me that data in PIC flash stay valid only about year or so when programmed with PK. But when is programmed with with "real production programmer" it stays for decades
Programing header is very easy to change, so for me that isn't problem.

[Ioannis]

Hey, come on. Don't tell me that you believe these crap?

As Henrik posted, either it programmed or did not programmed correctly. What is this ... volatility of the code?

Yeah, OK, code is like alchohol. It just evaporates after a while...

I don't believe... I have pic's that is running for years. I tried to point that to him, but...
I was just wondering what is your opinion on that.

That's "interesting" but sounds like b-s to me, ask him to provide some sort of "official" documentation on the matter, I'd like to read it. And/or ask Microchip directly and refer then to said distributor. I'd be very surprised of it's true.

Nah, I think it's the conductive pathways within the PIC that run out of electrons.

And I have some beach front property in Arizona for sale. Lots of sand....
