Stumped with word variable

[Scampy]

it might be easier to use a PCF8563 rtc chip with built in alarm and interrupt output
I use one of these on my wireless remote rain guage its a good thing. works at 3v too

i'd need to see the full code to see whats wrong with your project

I have a DS1307 RTC chip, but for some reason in the original project this gave me a lot of issues as the time would randomly revert to 10:10:10 and thus screw up the timings. I'll have a look at the 8563 chip, but really wanted to steer away from external chips in case the same issue happens again

What if you start a new/blank project/file, then copy/paste the complete code from my latest post above into it, select the 12F683 (for example) and then try to compile it. Does it still give you the error?

If this STILL fails can you then please take the source file (the .pbp or .bas file) and attach it to a message here so I can try and compile it on my end. There's got to be something weird going on with your system, I can not make it fail here PBP3 with MPASM or PBP2.60 with MPASM or PM (for 12F and 16F parts) it all works fine with the above code.

Which chip are you compiling for?

/Henrik.

Henrik, I'll try that suggestion later and let you know how I get on. The chip is an 18F4520

[HenrikOlsson]

OK, then PM is out of the question and the only difference between your setup and mine is MPLAB 8.87 vs 8.88 and whatever MPASM version that translates too - there might not even be a different version.

Just tried compiling for 18F4520 using PBP2.60 and there was no errors.

Looking forward to the results.

/Henrik,
