Using "END" Fries PICS?

[Acetronics2]

Hi,

I often place END statement @ the bottom of EACH subroutine when programming some device that must not reach " la la land " ... or accidentally fall into the next sub ...

NEVER got any problem , especially about reprogramming ...

by the way ...

the END statement place a never ending SLEEP LOOP @ the locations of the program you type it, like that

in asm :

SLEEP
GOTO $-1 ' or goto the label corresponding to the sleep command,

Hi there,

I agree with Mark_S.

I learned the hard way with 16f88 MCUs and the MCLR issue.

The problem is not the fact of using the MCLR pin as input, but as a combination of MCLR as input and internal OSC option.

Everytime i design some circuit that will use the internal osccilator i know i will lose the MCLR pin.

About the MCUs mentioned, i was never able to recover them.
