Hi All,
unsigned long xdata temp;
above instruction defined inside the function, giving an error
SENSORS.H(894): error C141: syntax error near '0xF2'
what this error describes, is there any alternative way for above declaration.

One thing that can hurt is that some source code ripped from web pages can have hard spaces instead of the normal spaces. The code may look ok, but the compiler will hate the spaces.
Syntax error sounds the same as "Sintax error"
is that what the tax man discuss with a lady of the night?

The original spelling of the word Syntax was indeed spelled "Sintax," and was basically intended to tax people who couldn't spell. This is why it is misspelled. (This has nothing to do with ladies of the night and it is a bit disturbing to know where your mind is).
Computers treat 'misspelled' instructions as "illegal." They are considered an affront to the strict programming language designers, and hence it is immoral to request the execution of these violations of the sacred programming languages. The "sin" of misspelling clearly has to be dealt with.
Since it has been proven difficult to pass clean legislation against misspelling computer instructions, Microsoft and other software vendors, wanted to discourage this behavior through taxation. They figured the proceeds would make up for any customer support expenses.
A bitter argument still rages about what the government's cut should be on this revenue stream. So, in the mean time, software vendors like to inform the user as often as they can about this tax. They figure we'll get used to seeing this little tax reminder, and when the legislation finally passes, we'll accept it more easily. (NOTE: Offshore Syntax shelters have already been established by Intuit).
