Memory Location Already Used

[pmolsen]

Trying to complie a big new program (maybe too big) I get:

Compile Error
Memory location already used B! 2248 17984

I found one previous post that referred to too many SETINT statements. I have 2 only.

I got the same yesterday. I suspect the error message includes Rev-Ed diagnostic code; in my experience it means the program has become too big to fit in memory.

It's not necessarily because of SETINT. Comment out lines until the error goes away on a Syntax Check and check what the pop-up says about memory used.

I have seen this error when the program writes to EEPROM with the WRITE, or EEPROM command to a location that is being used by program code.

When I make it smaller, but still too big, it tells me to reduce the size by say 51 bytes. So is there a point at which it gives up and the compiler simply terminates?

The error message is not correct we will look into it. Which chip are you using?

I got my message with an 18X.

Mine is also 18x
