Problem with PORTA in a MPLAB simulated code

[smiles]

Here is the code

	list		p=16f877a	; list directive to define processor
	#include	<p16f877a.inc>	; processor specific variable definitions
	__CONFIG _CP_OFF & _WDT_OFF & _BODEN_OFF & _PWRTE_ON & _RC_OSC & _WRT_OFF & _LVP_ON & _CPD_OFF
COUNT1      equ       08h                 ;First counter for our delay loops
;*******************************************************************
	org		0x0000
	goto 	Main
	org		0x0005		; processor reset vector
;****Set up the port**** 
Main
	banksel	TRISA
        movlw   01h            ;Set the Port A pins:
        movwf   TRISA          ;bit 1 to output, bit 0 to input.
	banksel	PORTA
	movlw   02h            ;Set up our w register with 02h 
Start1
	bsf  	PORTA,7        ;Set bit 7
        goto	Start1         ;go back to Start1  
	END

Compile it with MPLAB, it says successful like this

But when I use MPLAB SIMULATE, PORTA still 00000000 all time ?
Anyone know why ?
Thanks !!!

mpasm 16f877a.lkr

PORTA defaults to analog pin functions. You have to turn off both the comparators and also disable the analog mode on any pins you want to use for digital I/O

mpasm not loading .inc files

Hi !!! Thanks for your help, I now make it run
Well, when I convert its .asm to .hex in order to load program for PIC16F877 in ISIS software of Proteus and simulate, I get this error, anyone help me a way

Why it not run

Hi ! I got it right
I convert the .hex back to .asm use PicDisasm and I see the code is longer than I write itself before
they are:
;EPPROM Memory
ORG 0x2100
DE 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF ...
...
... (About 25 rows)
...
DE 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF ...
; Program Memory
; this part is exactly what I wrote
...
I guess and delete the part of .hex that contains EPPROM Memory, so .hex only contains my program
and everything is ok
I just understand that, if anyone find any more reasons please tell me !
Thanks !!!
