Help with asm: include and compilling

[bleeker]

I just want to know what exactley must I write in the 'include'. Can I just write #include <P16F84A.INC> or must I write the whole directory path of the file?
And what does it mean when MPASMWIN desplay errors: 7?
I have even tried downloading programs in .asm for a PIC and compilling it but it still desplay errors: 7

For microsoft's assembler (ML or MASM), the syntax is

include example.inc

If you investigate the Help section of MPLAB, you'll find (if you dig deep enough) a list of the error codes generated by the assembler.

I don't have MPLAB on this pc so I can't help much more than that.

The other thing that springs to mind is that there's a load of template files in a subdirectory of MPLAB.

They're found in a directory something like "C:\MPLAB\template\code"

If you have a look around using windows explorer, you'll find them.

There's a template in there that is intended for use with the PIC16F84A... copy that to where ever your work is, & have a good look at it... it should assemble without any errors.

You use the INCLUDE keyword and the absolute address of the file or that you want to include for example.

INCLUDE c:\masm615\include\lib32.inc

Im assuming that you are using masm.

From that f84temp.asm template file I mentioned above:

	list      p=16F84             ; list directive to define processor
	#include <p16F84.inc>         ; processor specific variable definitions
