Can someone help me identify why this simple program won't compile?

[Demon]

What PIC, PBP version, ASM version?

Can you post all your entire code?

Have you tried just blinking an LED on port e.2?

The PIC that this would be loaded to, if it ever got tested would be 16F877a

I have Microcode Studio 5.0.0.3 Compiler 3.0.6.3 and whatever assembler came down when I downloaded this all together.
If the ASM version is still important, you will have to direct me to where I find that bit of information.


This code sample is complete, but if it does not look complete, that may be the problem. I took the code from the book to test the LCD.
Thanks, Joe

Hi,
Make sure you select the correct target device in the drop down list in MicroCode Studio before compiling.
If you're compiling for a chip which doesn't have a PortE (for example) then the compiler doesn't know what to do with the command LOW PortE.2 so it throws a Syntax Error.

I've tried your code here, compiling ot for 16F877A, and it compiles without any errors.
