hi,

once again: it does work here!

#include <reg51.h>

#define MAX_DIGS 10

void main(void) 
{
	unsigned char loop;
	unsigned long counter;
	unsigned char Value[MAX_DIGS];

	counter = 0x100L;	// for test

	for (loop = 0; loop<MAX_DIGS; loop++)
	{ 
		Value[loop] = counter % 10;
		counter = counter / 10;
	}

	while(1);
}

Looking at memory located at Value[0] and above, after program has been executed, I see:
0x06,0x05,0x02,0x00,0x00...
That`s 256!

So what is the problem?

Regards,
Oleg
