"NUMBER" directive

Raj Shetgar

Hello All,

I need some help here on this directive...

I have two files main.asm and lcd.asm

I have declared the port pin as
"light equ p2.1" in lcd.asm

I am able to access all other function,variable in lcd.asm using extrn and public, but I am not able to access the "light equ p2.1"

I searched the threads ,also the examples and pdf files,I was not able to get a clear understanding.

    The source code of the main.asm file is like...
    name main

extrn code   (lcd_init,LCD_LINE1,LCD_LINE2,LINE1_CHAR,LINE2_CHAR,L_DELAY,DLAYms)
extrn code   (TITLE1,TITLE2)
extrn number (LITE)

main_prg segment code

	cseg at 0
	using 0
	jmp start

	rseg main_prg
start:	mov sp,#30h

	LCALL L_DELAY
	SETB	LITE ;I am not able to access this,If I comment this there is no error

	LCALL LCD_INIT		;THIS WILL INITIALISE THE LCD FOR 4 BIT MODE

	MOV DPTR,#TITLE1
	LCALL LCD_LINE1		;THIS WILL DISPLAY THE MESSAGE ON LINE 1 OF THE LCD

loop:	jmp loop

	end

    The source code for lcd.asm goes like(full code not shown)...

lcd_var		segment data



	rseg lcd_var

TEMP1:	ds 1
TEMP2:  ds 1
TEMP3:	ds 1
TEMP4:  ds 1
TEMP5:  ds 1


;I need to access the following variables in another file

LCD_D1	EQU	P2.4
LCD_D0	EQU	P2.5

	SETB	LCD_D1
	CLR	LCD_D0

    I need to know how to access the variable names declared using equ...I know it can be used by making use of "NUMBER" but I guess I need some help here.

    Wouldn't sbit be more appropriate?

    I have similar error while working on C51.
    But for me it was due in sufficient code memory . Once i expanded code memory settings to 64k the error L121: IMPROPER FIXUP was fixed.

    Raj,
    you now have two threads running on two boards that both say basically the same:
    "I have a problem with something and instead of tackling the problem as anyone else would I hunt for some exotic assembler/compiler/linker function"

    Why do you not sit back, figure out what your problem is and fix ir using standard means

    It serves no purpose to hunt for exotic features when the solution is as basic as "you should have used a /h file" or "buss two pins".
