Conditional Compiling does not seem to work

Dear reader,
i'm using SX/B 1.51 7/24/2006 and SX-key IDE ver 3.2 and SASM DLL 1.51.07
I'm trying to use the new conditional compile instructions.
I start a new SXb project and insert the example code from the "Whats new.txt"
But.... the result is always the same: " 89 =00000007 LEDS EQU RC ; LEDS PIN RC"
while I expected "LEDS EQU RB"
I thought, maybe I should remove the ' as this makes the lines a comment instead of actual code, but I get a error when I remove the '
How should I use the conditional compile instructions????

The .03 might be cause. The new code is a sticky at the top of the forum.
HTH, Chris
Bean, will be on shortly, he'll know.
Stange that is works for you!
I've also overwritten the SXB.exe file with the new 1.51.0.3 version, but with the same result!
Do you use the ' in front of all the conditional compile instructions, or do you remmove them (which generates an error warning over here)?
To verify that the SX-Key IDE is actually using the 1.51.03 compiler, click on Help\About, then click on the IDE version number -- it will show you the SASM version. Click again and it with show you the SX/B version. You want to make sure that you are in fact using 1.51.03 (this will also appear at the top of the list file).
PS: Not that is has any effect on your C/C issue, but you're using a very old template. SX/B has been significantly updated, so I've attached a new version that's up-to-date with the language; put it in C:\Program Files\Parallax Inc\SX-Key v3.2.3\Templates

I used the code as is, cut and paste. As it is, it uses RB. with the following line removed:
'{$DEFINE USE_RB} ' Remove this line to use RC
the LEDs where on RC. Like Jon said, make sure you copied the new files over the old ones and the IDE is seeing them.
Hope this helps, Chris
· Did you get this resolved yet ?
· Like Jonnymac said, make sure the IDE is actually using the 1.51.03 version of the compiler.
· I did a cut and paste of the code you posted and it compiled correctly (used RB for LEDS).
· If you look at the listing generated by SX/B (Run->View List or Ctrl-L) you should see at the top the version of the compiler used:
And then further down you should see this:
81 ;' ---------------------------------- 82 ;' Variables 83 ;' ---------------------------------- 84 85 ; '{$DEFINE USE_RB} ' Remove th 86 87 ; '{$IFDEF USE_RB} 88 =00000006 LEDS EQU RB ; LEDS PIN RB 89 90 ; '{$ELSE} 91 ; LEDS PIN RC 92 ; '{$ENDIF}Bean

IT WORKS!!!
Thank's for your help
Somehow, using CTRL+L gave me the number 1.51 without the 0.1 or 0.3 suffix.
Overwriting the SXB.exe again with a freshly downloaded 1.51.03 fixed it.
