Hi,

I am working on a 8051 based project at present, using a C51 compiler on the Keil IDE. I have run into this issue. Please do take a look.

I have the following variables--
bdata char var1;
char index; // index will hold values from 0 to 7 and
// refers to the bit no. of var1, which I have to access
bit result;


When index=2(say), I can assign the value of the second bit of var1 to result-
result=var1^index;

, but it does not work the other way around
var1^index=result;
This throws an error. Could someone please suggest a workaround? How do I write to a specific bit of a byte in the bit addressable region, when the bit number is stored in another variable?

Thanks
