Error:expected identifier or '(' before '.' token

compiler XC16 and software MPLAB X.

should i post the code ?

 

Please do.

 

should i post the code ?

Only if you want an answer.

 

It's like saying "Doctor, it hurts when I do this".

The most likely response would be "Then stop doing it."

 

Attached are the files..Please check why it's giving error..

 

I was waiting for someone to get online...that's all

 

At which line in the code does the compiler refer to?

 

wherever '.' operator is used...

 

...in glcd.txt

 

Copy and paste the entire compiler output, or make a screenshot of the error message, and post it here.

If not we're stumbling in the dark.

I saw that in some of the function you had variable assignment 2 times. Any particular reason for that?

There is always someone online.

 

attached is the output

 

dark.

To ensure correct data

 

To ensure correct data

You don't trust your compiler or the MCU?

 

why waste time on on this whether i trust it or not...

please check the relevant error and give me some solution.

 

no one can sort it out ?

 

Of course we can sort it out. We are here to help you communicate, be patient and learning to help yourself.

 

TRISCBITS.TRISC1=0;

Are you sure this is correct. Should it not be like this

TRISCbits.TRISC0;

TRISCbits.TRISC0 with bits in lower case (marked red)

 

TRISCBITS.TRISC1=0;

Are you sure this is correct. Should it not be like this

TRISCbits.TRISC0;

TRISCbits.TRISC0 with bits in lower case (marked red)

I'm sure it is not correct and needs to be cleaned up before any further debugging can occur.

 

I am 99% sure it is because you are using PORTCBITS.RC1 instead of PORTCbits.RC1. Watch your capitalization.

EDIT: Also, don't forget to include xc.h

SECOND EDIT: Dangit, I didn't realize there was already a second page with the same answers
