store a character in eeprom

[dynamitron]

Could someone explain me why if I try to store a character in eeprom, I must use the following instruction:

[Ttelmah]

Remember that 78, is the character code for 'N', not 'n'. For 'n', you would get back 110.

What are you getting back when you try to read it ? (as Ttelmah indicates, a lower case 'n' is 110 decimal (or 0x6E hex)).

For N, I get 'B'

I am just curious because otherwise using the ascii code, it works fine

[PCM programmer]

Post a simple test program that shows the problem. Example:
http://www.ccsinfo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17590&start=1
It should be complete and compile without errors, similar to the
program shown in the link above.

Also post your compiler version.

Also, tell us if you have ever programmed that eeprom location with
a continuous loop for a long time, and possibly burned out the eeprom.

Obvious question - What chip - how much EEPROM does it have?.
