Error code help!

[Picman 35]

I am new at this pic chip stuff and needed some basic help on an error that I am getting.

I am using a PIC16F917 for my project and get the following error when I try to compile my program....

Error[115] c:\pbp\16f917.inc 27 : Duplicate label ("EEDATA" or redining symbol that cannot be redefined)

I loaded the latest MPLAB IDE v7.60 and then started to get this error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.....

Just making a guess. You are setting the fuses in your code.
Have you read this? http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=543
Read the whole thing.
If this is not the problem, post the code.

Picman,

Most PIC chips already have a register called EEDATA.

If you are trying to create a variable or constant with the same name, you will get an error.

DT,

I don't know if my last reply got through, so I will list the code below that the assemblier is looking at.

Note: The last two lines are the problem, I think?? This code was included in the C:/pbp folder.....

Any ideas? Should I just remove the last two lines???

Thanks,

No, those lines are there for a reason, and should stay there.

Can you post your code.
Has to be something else wrong.

DT,

I don't think it is the code. As stated, I can put one line and still give me the error.
This all started when I loaded the new MPLAB IDE v7.60. Could this cause the problem?? Or, maybe my settings???

Here is an example of a code that fails (it gives me the two errors)....
