_remainder not compiling in sxb

ERIC THE GREAT

I have been using·SX assembly for quite some time now and have started learning SXB. I have downloaded the book "Practical SXB" from the Parallax website. There are a few examples in the text that I am trying to duplicate concerning driving a multiplexed LED display. For some reason the SXB compiler won't allow me to access the _REMAINDER register. I have tried about everything I can think of including downloading the newest version of the SXB compiler. I have a program line that reads tenth·TV = ADJ / SCALE followed by the line·NUM = _REMAINDER.·The Error that I get from the assembler is _REMAINDER is not defined. If I go to the assembly program window of my program I can see the assemblers declaration of _REMAINDER; so I know that it is there, I just do not know how to access it.

Please post the complete program here.

Did you know that 111,111,111 multiplied by 111,111,111 equals 12345678987654321 ?

Make sure there are two underscores before the word REMAINDER: i.e. __REMAINDER. It appears as though you typed it with only one in your post... I'm not sure if that's how you wrote it in the program as well.

Keep in mind, Eric, that you can view the List output (Ctrl-L) to see all of SX/B's internal names.
