How much time this loop will take if I am running processor at 20Mhz? My controller is 18f252.
Code:

b0=GetByte(value1,0);
b1=GetByte(value1,1);
b2=GetByte(value1,2);
b3=GetByte(value1,3);
     
spi_write(b0);
spi_write(b1);
spi_write(b2);
spi_write(b3);


At the receiver side if I use interrupt then the data received in SSPBUF buffer. I have to save that data in a variable which takes some time, so how much delay is required between two spi_write commands in order that I can transfer data from SSPBUF to variable?

Impossible to answer. Speed depends on how fast you are clocking the SPI.
However, the 'GetByte' routine is horribly inefficient. Use 'make8', or a union instead. Using a pointer, and adding an offset to get a byte, takes perhaps about a dozen machine cycles. Make8, or the union, take just a couple....
Again impossible to answer about the receiver. Depends how fast it is clocking. Typically takes 30 instructions to get into the interrupt, and perhaps a handful (if the code is well written), to get the byte from the SSP register. Say 40 instructions. At 4MHz, 40uSec, but at 40Mhz, just 4.

make8 function works for int16 and int32 bits.how i can set it to work with floating numbers?

union function is like that

Code:

union convert
    {
     int8 b[4];
     float fval;
    }
    val;
   
    val.fval=value1;
   
    b0=val.b[3];
    b1=val.b[2];
    b2=val.b[1];
    b3=val.b[0];

Yes, I personally use, and prefer unions, since they are supported in other C's. However you can also get the same effect, and use 'make8', using the #byte directive.
Code:

float val;
int32 int_valversion;
#byte int_valversion=val;

val=1.2345;
make8(int_valversion,0);


This tells the compiler to put the int32 variable 'int_valversion', at the same location in memory, as 'val' - exactly the same thing that the union does, and then 'make8', returns the first byte of this. make32, can be used to go the other way.
If you check the .sym file, you will find the two variables are in the same memory location.

I tried to make a spi routine but unfortunately it is not working
Interrupt is not generating
here is my code

Give me some suggestions how it will work.

First, shift your union declarations to the start of the function. C traditionally only allows declarations at the start of the functions. Latter versions allow them at the start of any code block. CCS, 'tries' to allow them inline to some extent, but they are much more reliable if you use the traditional declarations. The inline versions have a 'habit' of resulting in variables overlapping one another. So _keep to standard C syntax_.
Second, your slave SPI port, needs to be a slave, not a master. Something like:

setup_spi(SPI_MODE_0 | SPI_SS_ENABLED);

Since you are sending a slave select in the master.

Look in the 18F252.h, for the legal syntax. Unfortunately, CCS has the habit of changing their defines between compiler versions and chips. The default is for slave select to be enabled, so just using:

setup_spi(SPI_MODE_0 | SPI_SLAVE);

Should give slave operation with slave select, but some chips have the select as a separate option...

I have modified the PCM programmer code for sending and receiving the data using spi but it is not working as well,

I didn't really look at the code closely. Post a list of the connections
between the two PICs. There should be 4 wires for the SPI signals,
and a ground connection. Post the pin numbers on each PIC that
are connected to each other for the SPI.

I am using two 18f252 pic for spi communication
my connections are

SDI--->SDO
SDO--->SDI
SCK--->SCK
GND--->GND
For SS I am using PIN_A0 on both controller. Before I was using PIN_B5.

my compiler version is 4.093

Download the 18F252 data sheet:
http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/39564c.pdf
Look at the pin diagram for the 18F252. What pin is used for \SS
on a SPI Slave PIC ? Hint: It's not Pin A0.

On the SPI Master PIC, you can use pin A0 to drive the Slave Select
signal, because it's done by software, with output_low() and output_high()
functions. But for an SPI slave you must use the correct hardware \SS
pin on the Slave PIC. Read the data sheet to find the correct pin.

PCM Programmer
Its pin #7 of 18f252. /SS
I have change the hardware from A0 to A5 on slave side, but I am not using that pin in the slave software, so will it work without declaring that pin? Is it necessary to change the pin of master from A0 to A5?
