@ptrinc cannot be a destination variable

[beny1949]

previously i have been using a prgram that uses the scratch pad to store some variables so an average can be achieved. this has never been a problem, untill i updated program editior to 5.1.2 this morning. now i cannot asign variables if i use @ptrinc, but i can to @ptr.

the error message is as follows:

@ptrin cannot be destination variable(Firmware >= vA.2)

Error: Command not supported in this mode

The hardware connected to the computer is:
PicAxe 28x1 vA.0


Why???? i really need to sort this issue out as soon as possible because i need to get my project done for a competition.

Thanks,
Ben

ok, for now, i have rolled back to the previous state by deleting prog edit out of the folder and then runing the 5.1 patch.

This is because using 'let @ptrinc = xx' will not work as expected on firmware version A.0. To do this firmware version A.2 or later is required.

A workaround is
let @ptr = xx
inc ptr
