Problem with PWM using 16F688

Have dug further. The PWM statement will compile by itself. Adding a varible definition does not:

superman var byte
pwm porta.0, 127, 100

Seems that defining any variable causes these errors:

NEW ERROR_LA~2.ASM 47: [226]numeric constant or symbol name expected
NEW ERROR_LA~2.ASM 47: [201] ')' expected
NEW ERROR_LA~2.ASM 47: [212] extra tokens on end of line

Cancel any further help on this. Found that there is something just strange with the file name that I have been using. I go to another file name or create a new file, and everything works fine. There may be a bug in the compiler or in my system, but I have found how to work around it. Thanks for your help.

Thank you ruijc. I am glad it's not just me on this one. Seems there are other issues with the compiler that I am finding as well regarding this. I have not concluded anything yet however. Will post as I find them.
