SX Clock/alarm clock

I have started to work on·my clock·and hit a problem. I want to blank the first digit when the digit is not in use.
I have included my code with the post as well.

Thank you

Try adding what is in bold to your subroutines below:

' Display timer in MM.SS (00.00 .. 59.59) format with solid DP
SUB CLOCK_MMSS      ' display mins & secs
  tmpB1 = mins / 10     ' get 10's digit
  tmpB2 = __REMAINDER     ' save 1's digit
  READ SegMap + tmpB1, display(3)
  READ SegMap + tmpB2, display(2)
  display(2) = display(2) | DecPnt   ' add DP to hr01 digit
  tmpB1 = secs / 10
  tmpB2 = __REMAINDER
  READ SegMap + tmpB1, display(1)
  READ SegMap + tmpB2, display(0)
  [b]IF display(0) = %00111111 THEN  ' if 1st digit is a 0 then blank
     display(0) = %00000000[b]  ENDIF[/b][/b]  
  HIGH LED
  PAUSE 500
  LOW LED
  PAUSE 500
  IF TmrEnable = TmrRun THEN
    GOTO Main
  ELSE
    ChangeSec
  ENDIF
ENDSUB

' -------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Display timer in HH.MM (00.00 .. 23.59) format with blinking DP
CLOCK_HHMM:      ' display hours & mins
  tmpB1 = hrs / 10
  tmpB2 = __REMAINDER
  READ SegMap + tmpB1, display(3)
  READ SegMap + tmpB2, display(2)
  IF blink = Yes THEN
    display(2) = display(2) | DecPnt   ' blink DP on hr01 digit
  ENDIF
  tmpB1 = mins / 10
  tmpB2 = __REMAINDER
  READ SegMap + tmpB1, display(1)
  READ SegMap + tmpB2, display(0)
[b]  IF display(0) = %00111111 THEN  ' if 1st digit is a 0 then blank
     display(0) = %00000000[/b]
[b]  ENDIF[/b]
  HIGH LED
  PAUSE 500
  LOW LED
  PAUSE 500
  IF TmrEnable = TmrRun THEN
    GOTO Main
  ELSE
    ChangeMin
  ENDIF
ENDSUB

Thank you Tim. That helped me out a lot.

I have another question with my clock.
I got it to work on my circut board and I put in two leds. I want to blink one led once every second and the other led to blink once every ten seconds. Now I had the led for ever second to blink but the code would wait until it read through the code before continuing to the next step. I would like to know how to put in that bit of code and always run but not interupt the other coding.
Thanks for all the help.
