In the following code I am not using the BF flag instead I am providing a delay using for loop (12 MHz).The output is sometimes printed well on the LCD but sometimes it just print the first line and does not print the second line.Can anyone help me rectifying it?

IT Pro wont have any problem doing it http://www.8051projects.net/forum-t10568.html 2008-12-01T23:15:44-08:00 say2paul Smart!! but I was talking about the display shift commands.Suppose I give right shift command to the LCD, both the lines start moving in the right direction, but I want only one line to move and other to stay intact.So, its display shift commands http://www.8051projects.net/forum-t10568.html 2008-12-01T23:15:44-08:00 Ajay well display shift will shift the entire display (behind the scene.. it shift the ram content in cyclic way) so its not possible to shift a single line.only possible with software...
