problem with LCD large Numbers

Richard:

Thanks for your response. I modified your program to use with a 18F14K22, and since I have a serial LCD backpack, I changed the LCD stuff to SEROUT2. Also, no PB3 here, still on 2.6, but the program works great. Got 4 Warnings regarding the assembly stuff, I will try to figure that out, but the program runs just fine.

My intent in developing this program was to have a routine to add to my programs that use LCD's with some numeric display requirements.

I still plan on spending some (a little) time on my original program, to try to figure out the problem - hate to have an error like that that I do not understand.

once again THANKS

ozarkshermit, Attached is a program I wrote quite a few years ago to test the theory of using BIG numbers on a 4 x 20 LCD display. Enjoy...

Your Z loop increments Z by 6 for each iteration.
You increment Z by 5 manually within the loop, and the NEXT Z used to close the loop iterates another 1.

If you take the difference between your start and end indexes for each digit A and B,
the difference between A and B for digit zero is the only set that is evenly divisible by 6.
The other digits overshoot the loop index by 2.
