Thank you all for the replies but
LCDOUT $FE, LINE1, Dec X1, " ", Dec X2, " ", Dec X3, " ", Dec X4, " ", Dec X5
also works exactly the same.
The display will show 10 11 12 garbage.....
I need to have a slight delay.
Whether I use #X1 or DEC X1 the output is the same.
I think I'll try creating a 20 byte array then output the array and see what happens
