PWM problem with a PIC18f87 and PicKit3

[Microchiper]

Dear all,

I'm using Pickit3 to interface my board, and when using the debugger, there is a strange behavior (or, let's say, one I don't understand). Indeed, when using the "watch" feature in MPLAB, and considering the CCP4 for example (pin n°3 of Port G), I always have:

PORTG = 0000 0000

even when my voltmeter proves me that it changes merely as expected.

But if, in the code, I add:

[PCM programmer]

There is no 18F87.

Since your question is mostly about MPLAB and Pickit3, you might get

You should show us a complete but small program that shows the problem.

One item you must understand with MPLAB, is that you MUST recompile your program after you select 'release' in the build configuration menu.
You cannot properly program a PIC with your code while in the 'debug' mode.
