i am building this mmd and its not working if something is missing in this ciruit i attached the pic please see
 

where is your MMD Design
You forget to include it
 

what is the function of mclr pin?
is this Digital I/O?
If not pull it up with maximum 10k resistor

actually i want to know that i have to add more parts to this design like pnp transistors like bc640 to the rows and i am using column cathode and row anodes is it correct
 

If you intend to use row multiplexing (row1..row2..row3... of all displays) then you need a device that can provide more current, 74138 can't do much
 

so what should i use then please advice i made this and its working like hell some columns were running from left to right no charcters
 

you can either use discrete transistors or a device like UDN2981 , you need something that can provide the current needed when all the columns of a row turn on
 

please be specific if i add transistors to the columns or to the rows why its not showing any characters if there's some problem with hardware or software>?
 

it should be working fine in proteus , if it is not then it is a software issue.
In the real circuit you have to drive the rows with devices that can provide enough current to light the leds
 

please be specific if i add transistors to the columns or to the rows why its not showing any characters if there's some problem with hardware or software>?

is there any substitute of udn2981 coz its not avaiable
 

Your circuit will work fine in proteus for simulation because the model of U7 doesn't have a limited current output like in reality so fix your software first so it can work and then you can add the transistors to provide the needed current in the rows.
 

please tell me what should i change in the software i am newbie in programming
 

I have no idea about PIC mcu so I can 't help you on that but you haven't provided any source code so I don't see how anyone could answer to what is wrong with your code
 

shall i post here the complete code or make it zip and post then
 

whichever suits you, if it is in more that one source file or if the code is long use zip
 

here's the code

see i uploaded the code please help me out
 

your code is written in basic so not everyone will be able to help because most users use code written in C
