    Even if the code is almost totally unreadable, because of the lack of formatting, it's obvious that you have errors.

    This function expects an unsigned character as parameter. That is one single character.

    void lcddata (unsigned char value);

    This call does not send a single character, but a pointer to an array of characters:

    lcddata("ERROR");

    Why shouldn't the compiler complain when you send a pointer to a function that isn't expecting a pointer?
