Hi,

My PICBASIC PRO compiler stubbornly refuses to compile any programs, even those that would compile before and 1 line test programs. When compiling a program dev6.pbp the error window showed these errors.


Eror DEV6.ASM 3:[235] opcode expected instead of "
Eror DEV6.ASM 5:[235] opcode expected instead of "
Eror DEV6.ASM 9:[238] preprocessor directive expected
Eror DEV6.ASM 9:[235] opcode eexpected instead of ' (('
Eror DEV6.ASM 10:[235] opcode expected instead of "
Eror DEV6.ASM 9:[238] preprocessor directive expected
Eror DEV6.ASM 9:[235] opcode eexpected instead of ' (('
Eror DEV6.ASM 10:[235] opcode expected instead of "
Etc.

This is the start of the DEV6.ASM file as seen in Windows notepad. (the first line is empty).

etc....

I have reloaded the software, reset the compiler options in my MicroCode Studio Plus but to no avail.

Can anybody suggest a possible remedy?

Many thanks,
Mark
