literal values in PIC regs

[asjad]

I am trying to set bits on specific values in the PICs registers:

using a 16F84

-------------------------

#define STATUS 0x03 //0x03 is the address of status on the PIC

I try to do the followng but get an error:

"bit_set(STATUS,5);" //select bank 1

ANY IDEAS????

bit_set() operates on a memory location or register.
You're giving it a constant. You need to use the #byte
directive to declare STATUS, instead of #define.
