I2CRead & I2CWrite not working as expected

[richard]

Well, if there's syntax error, compiler should warn about it, right?

no the compiler produces code to I2CREAD DPIN,CPIN from device $A0 @eeprom address B0,X then read nothing as asked for
there is no error

I tried to add brackets and now it starts working, but in the weird way.


I2CWRITE DPIN,CPIN,$A0,B0,[127]
Writes 127 into eeprom
but if I substitute variable there, no matter, byte or word
after reading, I'm getting zeroes.

produce a compliable example that demonstrates the problem
