Ryan -

For better or worse, I can verify that the same error occurs on the PBASIC Version 2.0 compiler both with your program example, and those recently supplied by Jon Williams in this same thread. I suspect you can temporarily circumvent the problem by using a Stamp Directive which look like this:
'{$STAMP BS2pe}

I realize this isn't representative of the Stamp Model that you are presently using, but I suspect it will work without any untoward effects.

SPSTR is only available when using the BS2p and BS2pe.

I know you are probably sick of hearing about this SPSTR issue, but
can you tell me what is wrong with this line:

SERIN 7, 84, 60, Hard_Reset, [noparse][[/noparse]SPSTR 64]

Where the timeout is 60 ms, Hard_Reset is where it branches if there
is a timeout, and [noparse][[/noparse]SPSTR 64] should look to get 64 bytes that are
placed into scratch pad, starting at location 0.

I have the correct directive: '{$STAMP BS2e}

I am using the Basic stamp editor version 2.1 beta 1. When I check
the syntax of the above, it highlights the SPSTR and says that it
expects a variable.

Help?

Thanks,
Ryan

Have you read the entire PBasic syntax guide on SERIN yet? Perhaps it will
contain an alternate method of doing what you want
