is the any problem with my LCD display or need to add extra component?

I would guess a PAUSE of 100 some place after the LCD updates will stop the blink.

here is my programe
'4Mhz Crystal is use

DEFINE LCD_LINES 2

hour VAR BYTE
dhour VAR BYTE
minute VAR BYTE
second VAR BYTE
scaler VAR BYTE
i VAR BYTE


Pause 100 'wait lcd startup

hour = 0
minute = 0
second = 0
scaler = 0



OPTION_REG = %11010101
INTCON = %10100000

display:

LCDOut $fe,1

dhour = hour
IF (hour//12) = 0 Then
dhour = dhour + 12
EndIF
IF hour < 12 Then
LCDOut DEC2 dhour,":",DEC2 minute,":",DEC2 second, "AM"
LCDOut $fe,$c0,"Simple Test"
Else
LCDOut DEC2 (dhour - 12),":",DEC2 minute,":",DEC2 second, "PM"
LCDOut $fe,$c0,"Simple Test"
EndIF



GoSub timing

GoTo display

timing:
scaler = scaler + 1

IF scaler > 61Then
scaler = 0
second = second + 1

IF second > 59Then
second = 0
minute = minute +1

IF minute > 59Then
minute = 0
hour = hour + 1

IF hour > 24 Then
hour = 0

EndIF
EndIF
EndIF
EndIF

Return
End

where should i put the pause 100 and how i can display simple test in second line?
it seem it run only time but didn't display simple test in second line

Add pause 100 before GoSub timing

dhour = dhour + 12
EndIF
IF hour < 12 Then

thanks for the help. but i still cannot get display Simple test in LCD second line.
is it my coding problem or my connection to LCD(i use last 4 bit to connect).
if i use
LCDOUT "hello"
LCDOUT $fe,$c0,"simple test"
it come out as i want.but with the above coding, it didn't show out.
