hi & thanks for sparing the time

between the ******
is the code with a single value that works in a counter routine in
an16f84
;******************test value ***********************
; movlw     25     ;one single counter value
; movwf     strttmr     ;load 25 into strtmr reg.
;****************************************************
i am stuck with trying to use the  lookup table below to replace the
above value
with selectable values

i am using 2 switches to give one of four possible values
this switch code is to be passed upon power up

                                            swA
                                     -----/  -----| rb0
        gnd                       |
        |--------\/\/\/------------/  -----| rb1
                     10k                 swB

; ============= new select values for counter setup ==============

 ;code below is used for the 2 switches
 ; initiate strttmr from input pins & lookup table

             movf       PORTB,w      ;get values of RB0 & RB1
             andlw     0x03             ; extract out bits 0,1 of PORTB
(strttmr value)

             CALL     table         ; use look up table
             movwf     strttmr     ;move selected value from table to
strttmr

table     addwf        PCL,f
             retlw         d'25'         ; 00 = 250ms (switch position
1)
             retlw         d'50'         ; 01 = 500ms (switch position
2)
             retlw         d'75'         ; 10 = 750ms (switch position
3)
             retlw         d'100'       ; 11 = 1000ms (switch position
4)

where am i going wrong please ?

thanks very much for your help
i appreciate it
