Byte variable expected

Bandit

I declared a variable "ms" as
ms var Byte(1)
and when I debug the program it comes to a line
READ Seg_Map + ms, display(0)
and I get the "Byte variable expected error 11"

Download the latest version of the SX/B compiler from here

I just tried this code and it works with SX/B version 1.51.03 (the latest).

DEVICE SX28, OSC4MHZ, TURBO, STACKX, OPTIONX, BOR26
FREQ 4_000_000
 
ms      VAR BYTE(1)
display VAR BYTE(10)
 
PROGRAM Start
 
Start:
  READ Seg_Map + ms, display(0)
END
 
Seg_Map:
  DATA 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

What's the BOR26 in your device line?

Bandit

Thanks

I had declared my data table Seg_Map as a Byte(3)
commenting out this line eliminated the error.

BOR26 is the brown-out reset.
Sometimes if the supply voltage rises slowly, the SX doesn't start properly. The BOR26 holds the SX in reset until the supply reaches 2.6 volts.

Seg_Map should be a lablel not an array ?

If you post your program I'd be happy to help you more.
