RS232 changing baud rate at runtime

[richT]

I have an application that requires altering baud rate on the same output. The PCWH 3.222 compiler uses the baudrate of the last #USE_RS232 directive in the program irrespective of program flow. i.e. if I put a directive of 4800 as the first line of the program, followed by printf statements followed by the program ending in a directive of 19200 baud, all the printf's are transmitted at 19200 baud. Is this correct? If so, is there a simple way to switch baud rate during runtime please?

CCS has a function called SET_UART_SPEED() which allows you to modify uart speed run-time. See CCS help for details.

Actually it works like this:

use RS232 for 9600 baud
print A
print B
print C
use RS232 for 1200 baud
Print XYZ

will print ABC at 9600 and XYZ at 1200 baud.
