Hello
int8 ACDCflag=0;
int8 PHASEflag=0;
int8 FPMflag=0;
...CCS compiler is erroring the above, telling me its expecting a numerical expression.
I am declaring variables....so why do i need a numerical expression? |

Difficult to know for sure, but the 'classic', would be that one of the names is also the name of a function somewhere else.
Other possibility though is that there is an error some lines _earlier_, which the compiler ploughs through, and keeps going till it gets here, and then complains. So something like a missing bracket on a function, so it still thinks these declarations are inside this.

There's nothing wrong with those lines. The problem is probably above
those lines somewhere.
Here's one example of how you might have done it. If you use an "="
sign in a #define statement, this will give the error, as shown in the
code below:
*** Error 51 "pcm_test.c" Line 17(10,11): A numeric expression must appear here

#use delay(clock=4M)
#use rs232(baud=9600, UART1, ERRORS)
#define MYVAL = 5 // Don't put an '=' sign in there. Remove it.
int8 ACDCflag=0;
int8 PHASEflag=0;
int8 FPMflag=0;
//====================
void main()
{
int8 a;
a = MYVAL;
while(1);
