Ian-

MPASM doesn't choke on multiple instances of:

LCD_TX MACRO
  LOCAL rotate
  IFDEF DEBUG
   movlw  0x02
  ELSE
   movlw  0x08
  ENDIF
  movwf    count_10
  bcf      STATUS,C
  bcf      PORTB,CK
  nop                    ;Rest between bit ops.
  bsf      PORTB,CH      ;***Initialise the data port.
rotate
  rlf      charac,1      ;Rotate the the data thru CARRY, MSB first.
  btfss    STATUS,C      ;Data bit = 1?
  bcf      PORTB,CH      ;No  -  send a zero
  nop                    ;Rest between bit ops.
  bsf       PORTB,CK     ;Clock the bit thru

  nop                    ;Rest  between bit ops.
  bcf      PORTB,CK
  decfsz   count_10,1    ;Stepped  down thru 8 bits?
  goto     rotate        ;No - jump back to bsf PORTB,CH
  nop                    ;Rest between bit-ops.
  bsf      PORTB,EN      ;Enable the LCD and

  nop                    ;transfer the data.
  bcf      PORTB,EN
  nop
  bcf      PORTB,CH      ;Leave PORTB in a defined state. All LOW.
 ENDM
