Addressing individual bits of a register

[andyd]

What's the syntax to set or clear a particular bit of a register?

I've got the line CCP1CON.5 = 1; to set bit 5 of that register (CCP1CON is already defined as #byte CCP1CON = 0x17), but the compiler doesn't like it (keeps saying I need a ; on that line).

[Ttelmah]

#bit DC1B1=CCP1CON.5

You can then just set this to 1' or '0' when required.

DC1B1=1;
or
DC1B1=0;

Alternatively:

bit_set(CCP1CON,5);

bit_clear(CCP1CON.5);
