PCHW Compiler V 3.218 "SETUP_Timer_2/4()" Problem

Howdy,

PIC18F8720...

Just wondering if anyone else has had a problem compiling the simple line:

SETUP_TIMER_4(T4_DIV_BY_16);

or

SETUP_TIMER_2(T2_DIV_BY_16);

Both give the error: "Error[102] : Expect Comma".

Everything else in my program compiles fine when I comment out just those lines.

Thanks,

- Kevin

Did you happen to look at the help file for those functions:

setup_timer_2 (mode, period, postscale)

Nope, I just looked at the book that came with the compiler (silly me!)

Thanks a lot!

The manual tends to lag behind as features and new processors are added. Also, don't forget to look at the readme file that is included with each new version. That is where CCS includes information on new features, etc.

The manual also shows how to use those functions correctly and gives examples.

Mark, you are right!
Even my 3 years old book (February 2002) shows the correct syntax for setup_timer_2. In other words, kcnicho had a nice try in talking himself out of this but should try next time to RTFM. Twisted Evil

I've got one from July '99. It does too. Man is it thin compared to the new one Smile
