Limitation of the compiler or what???

Hey folks,

I have a problem really interesting here. My program is really simple, I have just to read some information from analog inputs and send them throught CAN bus. I am using the microcontroller 167.

The source of the main function is showed on next:

void main(void)
{
  ubyte a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h;
  uword Gas = 0;
  uword Brake = 0;

  MAIN_vInit();

  while (1) {      /* loop forever*/

    Gas = ADC_ReadChannel(0);
    Gas = Gas & 0x3ff;
    a = LOWER_BYTE(Gas);
    b = UPPER_BYTE(Gas);

    Brake = ADC_ReadChannel(1);
    Brake = Brake & 0x3ff;
    c = LOWER_BYTE(Brake);
    d = UPPER_BYTE(Brake);

    while ( !CAN1_ubRequestMsgObj(1) );

    CAN1_vLoadData(1,0,a);
    CAN1_vLoadData(1,1,b);
    CAN1_vLoadData(1,2,c);
    CAN1_vLoadData(1,3,d);
    CAN1_vTransmit(1);
  }
} //  End of function main

So, when I test the program in the target hardware, the information that I read in CAN network (I have a monitor program in my PC connected in the CAN net) is supposed to show what I am reading from the analog inputs.

Well, when I read only one analog input and send by CAN, the program work well. But if I am reading two of analong inputs (as in the source code showed) and send these information by CAN, the ouptut comes wrong, always comes like 0xFF. I checked if there is a problem in the CAN drivers, but there is not. The problem is a simple basic operation of bits manipulation. How is it possible?

As I commented, if I commented the lines concerned with Brake analog input, for example, the program works.

//    Brake = ADC_ReadChannel(1);
//    Brake = Brake & 0x3ff;
//    c = LOWER_BYTE(Brake);
//    d = UPPER_BYTE(Brake);
//    CAN1_vLoadData(1,2,c);
//    CAN1_vLoadData(1,3,d);

Could someone explain me why is that? THere is some limitation on the compiler? Looks like a problem in the ocmpiler!

I am using DAvE to generate the drivers for CAN and ADC.

I am looking forward to hearing from someone!
