Ask on the MPLAB forum.

MPLAB is nothing to do with CCS, so you need to ask on the forum
for questions about this, not here.

hi,
microchip response:
"Sometimes compilers optimize variables."
...
ccs optimizes this?
and that's why I can not change the values?

If it's a optimization level that is causing your problem, then you can try this:

Project Properties -> CCS C Compiler -> Compiler Options

Then in the right side of the window, you should be a Optimization Level option that you can change.

OK. I just ran up MPLABX, and played with this.

What you do is there is a little grey square just right of the value.
Click this.
It's totally silly the value is sitting there and you would expect to be
able to change it but you can't. However click on this little square and
it pops up a window, where you can change it.
Brilliant design.....

Seriously, take a step back.
Try a very simple program. One variable, and see if you can change this.

Understand that watch values are not 'live' when the code is outside
the routine in which they are declared. So if you call a function and
return, with a watch declared on a variable inside this function, the watch
will show the value it had when you left the function, but it cannot then be accessed at all. Only when the code is in the function that generates/controls
it. MPLAB will normally switch to saying 'out of scope' when you leave the
function, but some types of variable it does still show.

It is the little square right at the left of the window. Make sure you are seeing
this. It can go off the left edge of the screen and have to be scrolled back.
The one earlier, affects the address of the variable, and you can't change
this.

Click on the "Halt" button to stop the simulator from running. Then you
can change the value. I tested this just now with the LATC register and
it worked.

Click on the little box to the right of the "Value" number.
The little box looks like this:
Code:

-----
|...|
-----

Then a window will pop up with the current value, such as 0x00.
Backspace over it. Then type in a new value, such as 0x55 and click on
the OK button. It should work.

Aaargh!....

Never considered the possibility somebody would try to change a value while
the processor was actually running....

I tried all these alternatives and it did not work.
In the old MPLAB v8.92 it worked perfectly.
Even EEPROM values I could change,
but in MPLAB-X it does not change any value.

I don't think we can do anything more to help you.
