I'm sorry, the program is actually

#include

CONST CS = 8
CONST SCLK = 9
CONST SDATA = 10
CONST RST = 11

CONST LSBfirst = 0
CONST MSBfirst = 1

SUB sendData(data)
str$(0) = data
SPIOUT (CS, SCLK, SDATA, LSBfirst, 1, str$)
END SUB

data is a reserved word

don't worry, a second set of eyes is often useful

change the name to something else

Okay, so I changed it to dataOut, and now I still get the error:
-ERROR In Line PhilipsLCD.bas: 22: Expected Integer Variable or IO, found (0) =
"dataOut"

thank you for the help

Oh jeez, nevermind. I never dim'ed the str$. Thanks again!
