40X1 porta Syntax error

[XLSERVICE]

Im not sure if I am doing something silly but the first two lines work OK, but the second two give a syntax error. The only difference being the second two are Porta inputs.


If b6>0 and pin6 = 0 then : low portb 6 : high portc 5 : b12=1 : endif
If b7>0 and pin7 = 0 then : low portb 7 : high portc 5 : b12=1 : endif
If b8>0 and porta pin0 = 0 then : low portc 6 : high portc 5 : b12=1 : endif
If b9>0 and porta pin1 = 0 then : low portc 7 : high portc 5 : b12=1 : endif

any help is much appreciated
Alan

I tried this in the sim

If b6>0 and pin6 = 0 then : low portb 6 : high portc 5 : b12=1 : endif
If b7>0 and pin7 = 0 then : low portb 7 : high portc 5 : b12=1 : endif
If porta pin0 = 0 and b8>0 then : low portc 6 : high portc 5 : b12=1 : endif
If porta pin1 = 0 and b9>0 then : low portc 7 : high portc 5 : b12=1 : endif

and it compiled ok

Easy when you know how. Thank you Kevrus...
I tried various combinations of syntax, but not that one

Cheers

PS It just compiled happily

If you read manual 1 page 86 you may understand better what is happening.

Note the portA command is only required once after the ‘if’ command.
It is not possible to test inputs on two different ports within the same if…then
statement.

and manual 2 page 78

IF PORTA pin ?? value {AND/OR variable ?? value ...} THEN address

note the porta test is first in the example.




Also, on the 40X1, portb is the "normal" output pins so, instead of LOW portb 6 , just use LOW 6
(mind you, it does not save any bytes to program length)

Your code is correct for portc (ie: high portc 5 )
