you need to write a WORD

in 2 bytes of EEPROM

see the MAKE8() function

As a further comment, try reading the manual.....

Section:

"How do I write variables to EEPROM that are not a byte?" and the example this links to.

I have use to print above 255 value in PIC 16f877a eeprom.
syntax:

write_program_eeprom(address,data);
value=read_program_eeprom(address);
its work correctly.

How to store string in PIC 16f877a eeprom.

Pls send the syntax.

Simply create a function to compute the length of the string and then store each byte of the string until you get to the 'end of string' character which is a null (0).
I leave it to you to look at the string functions CCS supplies as I assume this is a school project as the 877 is, well, obsolete !
