    Dennism, could you edit your post, change the file type from bsp to txt so its easier to open it in a browser ?
    Also, what kinda variable is x ?

    SDEC is only valid inside a DEGUG and SEROUT, when using the */ operator, the integer value is located in the most significant byte, so you need to have x = yValue.HIGHBYTE to do what you want.

    PS using */ returns a maximum value of 255.996, so the x < 8000 will always be true. Look at page 109 of the Stamp users manual for more info.
