Another 2.60 worry

I assume they are not commented in the include file? I usually give the file a PBP extension, but I doubt that is it.Can you attach the .lst file created when you use the include?

Just my thoughts . . . change the file extension to .bas and make it the first line of code . . .

I just override settings at the top of my programs.

' PicBasic Pro program

ENDASM

DEFINE OSC 20       ' 15-33pF (22pF used)

yada yada yada

I could be using the default values; I never bothered to check.

But as someone said, I don't loose settings with future upgrades. Or worse, have the default settings changed and pull what little hair I have left trying to find what is wrong in my code.

I found what apparently was causing the problem, but don't quite understand why. I changed the file extension to .pbp and had it in a 2nd level folder below my PBP folder while my application code resides in a 3rd level folder. IT was my understanding that as long as an include file was in a folder at a higher level than the code that was using it, that the INCLUDE statement would find it. However, unless I placed the include file in the same folder as my application code or moved the file to the PBP folder my application code wouldn't work. As long as it was in the 2nd level folder my application code wouldn't work.

Can anyone tell me how this works?

Just specify the path in your include line then. I do it all the time.

I have a root folder named PBP_PROG and some subfolders. One subfolder by application and a couple of other for various include type (DevBoards headers, LCD/GLCD drivers/wrapper, etc etc etc)
C:\PBP_Prog
C:\PBP_Prog\DemoXyz
C:\PBP_Prog\Nokia3310

Assuming I'm working on a prgram located in DemoXyz folder, If I want to use the Nokia3310 related include I just need to use the following line
INCLUDE "..\Nokia3310\GLCD_NOKIA.PBP"

the file extension do not make any difference, it could be .inc, pbp, bas, bak.. whatever.

For Win7/Vista, you may have a error message if the path+filename exceed 32 characters (or so)

All config fuses are in my code, never elsewhere/ I comment out the one in the PBP folder all the tie. Fortunately now with PBP3 we no longer need to do so. This reminds me I need to upgrade today... where<s my proof of purchase now... arg... I know I have it somewhere. Back in 1999/2000

As I continue to learn . . .

figure an include to be nothing more than a text substitution... on a single line.
