Word to nibbles

WIRD WIRD WEIRD can't confirm it here...
what about if you split your SEROUT statement in two like..

SEROUT PORTA.3,BRate,[32,Leader,#DataOut[5],#DataOut[4]]
SEROUT PORTA.3,BRate,[#DataOut[3],#DataOut[2],#DataOut[1],10]

or in a multiple line like

SEROUT PORTA.3,BRate,[32,Leader,#DataOut[5],_
                      #DataOut[4],#DataOut[3],_
                      #DataOut[2],#DataOut[1],10]

the little thing that could do... i said could, if DataOut is a word size variable BUT i tried it also... works for me.

BTW there's certainely somebody here or at MELABS who know why... over for me

PBP offers pretty limited support for the 12-bit core.

Calls and computed jumps can only be made to the first half (256 words) of any code page on the 12-bit core with PBP due to the meager resources on the 12-bit core.

And, all PBP library routines have to squeeze into the 1st page, so it's tough to do much with PBP on a 12-bit core unless you're pretty creative.

mmm now that make sense to me. So as i suggest before, trying to compile with another PIC would have solved the problem.. well if a 14 or 16 bit core where choose of course.

Thanks Bruce for the neat and deep explanation.

Thanks to you all for your input, I think the mystery is solved. On my next project, I'll remember the limitations of the 12 bit core.
