serial trouble

[ronjodu]

Hello again, sorry for the delay. Busy Holiday, no time.
I've tried removing the timeout, no change. I did notice the data I was sending to the LCD was double what I expected.
In other words I expect :
"11/28/04" but got "22/56/08".

I am now dividing the variable by 2 before sending to the LCD.

The LCD now displays what I expect.

My Question! Why, when I use:
SerIn2 PORTA.0, 396, [decday]
It works but when I use :
SerIn2 PORTC.7,396,[decday]
I have to divide the variable by 2?

I've included my code. Go easy on me it's one of my first projects.
