One too many printf() statements cause compiler error: .cof

[Michael Valencia]

Micro: PIC 18F442

Shortly after reset, I decided to do a "#use RS232...", and printed out 7 lines of text using a "printf()". All is well if I have 6 printf statements, BUT on my 7th printf() function call, I get the MPLAB (or is that a CCS error) that says, "Failed to load C:\my_path\my_file.cof

And when I try to execute it anyways, my target seems to freeze at that line.

Can someone shed some light into this problem?
Thanks,
Mike

Okay, in MPLAB, I tried right-clicking on the .c file and changing "build options" from "COFF" to "NONE". This seems to have fixed the problem, at least I don't get the failure error message anymore.

But does someone know why this would be a problem?

When I did what you have done, ie, right clicking the c file and changing the debug option, it said "failed to load .cod file" instead.
Strange. Anyone knows why??
