two dimentional array(char) problem

hi !

I want a table from which i can take char data. so i have used char 2-dim array.my initialization is ok. but complier gives following error :

MAIN.C(24): error C242: 'array[]': too many initializers

unsigned char  guj_powerfail[8][5]= {{0x1b,0x0b,0x0b,0x0b,0x0f,0x03,0x03,0x00},
                                                                                  {0x19,0x11,0x11,0x11,0x13,0x1d,0x01,0x00},
                                                                                  {0x1c,0x04,0x04,0x1c,0x08,0x08,0x0c,0x00},
                                                                                  {0x00,0x00,0x1d,0x05,0x05,0x05,0x1d,0x00},
                                                                                  {0x0f,0x00,0x1b,0x0b,0x1b,0x13,0x1f,0x00}};

Please help.

The diagnostics given by a "small" compiler like C51 can often be quite limited - so it can be informative to also pass the code through another compiler.

eg, GCC gives the following set of warnings for that code:

 warning: excess elements in array initializer
 warning: (near initialization for 'guj_powerfail[0]')
 warning: excess elements in array initializer
 warning: (near initialization for 'guj_powerfail[0]')
 warning: excess elements in array initializer
 warning: (near initialization for 'guj_powerfail[0]')

 warning: excess elements in array initializer
 warning: (near initialization for 'guj_powerfail[1]')
 warning: excess elements in array initializer
 warning: (near initialization for 'guj_powerfail[1]')
 warning: excess elements in array initializer
 warning: (near initialization for 'guj_powerfail[1]')

 warning: excess elements in array initializer
 warning: (near initialization for 'guj_powerfail[2]')
 warning: excess elements in array initializer
 warning: (near initialization for 'guj_powerfail[2]')
 warning: excess elements in array initializer
 warning: (near initialization for 'guj_powerfail[2]')

 warning: excess elements in array initializer
 warning: (near initialization for 'guj_powerfail[3]')
 warning: excess elements in array initializer
 warning: (near initialization for 'guj_powerfail[3]')
 warning: excess elements in array initializer
 warning: (near initialization for 'guj_powerfail[3]')

 warning: excess elements in array initializer
 warning: (near initialization for 'guj_powerfail[4]')
 warning: excess elements in array initializer
 warning: (near initialization for 'guj_powerfail[4]')
 warning: excess elements in array initializer
 warning: (near initialization for 'guj_powerfail[4]')

which gives you more of a clue as to what is wrong with your code.

"my initialization is ok"

As already noted, if it was OK, you would not get the error - would you?!
