Get and Put Help using BS2SX

Guido

I seem to be as usual having problems with the GET and PUT statements using a [url=mailto:BS@SX]BS2SX[/url]. I am trying to save temperature (TEMPF) from Program Run0 and reading information on Run1.

RUN0 has TempF identified in it's program as a Word variable, so I use a simple:
PUT 0,TEMPF

In the RUN1 program I use the following:
GET 0, TEMPF
Debug DEC TEMPF

It does not work and I am wondering what I am forgetting?. Do I need to identify the Bank in the statements?
Thanks
Guido

Is tempf a variable in slot 1 as well?

Yes it is. Forgot to mention the program has been shortened just to show the problem area, but switching banks is also working

Keep in mind that PUT and GET usually work with bytes, and a word is two bytes. In your example you are only writing the low byte of the word. Here's what you need to do to make sure both bytes are put into the Scratchpad:

PUT 0, Word tempF

then, in slot 1:

GET 0, Word tempF

By adding the Word modifier to PUT and GET, the compiler will cause both bytes of the value to be used.
