Shawn,

you need to use "unsigned long"
this is how I did it.


unsigned long prg_meml;
unsigned long prg_memh;
BYTE prg_meml;
BYTE prg_memh;


	prg_meml=prg_mem>>8;
	prg_memh=prg_mem & 0x00FF;

Subject: [EE] Bit shifting


OK, I must be doing some ridiculous here and I'm just not catching it.

Does anyone see anything wrong with this code:

//Set page 103 for details regarding the +2
    tmr0l = (unsigned char)65000;
    tmr0h = (unsigned char)(65000 >> 8);  //Right shift so the top byte
becomes the bottom byte

All I'm trying to do is split the 65000 across the two variables, tmr0L and
tmr0H.

tmr0L is being assigned correctly the lower 8 bits of the 16 bit value, but
the tmr0H is being assigned 0.
