    Analogue register AD1PCFG

    Hi,

    I am trying to set some pins to digital.
    The datasheet for PIC32MX575F256L, shows this register.

    https://cboard.cprogramming.com/imag...AASUVORK5CYII=

    So i code this.

    Code:
    AD1PCFGbits.PCFG0 = 1;      //make digital
    Upon compiling i get this error

    main.c:41:14: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before '.' token

    Commenting out the register command, my code compiles and runs properly with no errors or warnings.

    If i place this line inside main() it compiles fine.
    Why does this register command have to be inside main() to compile ?

    Some commands are required to be inside functions!
    Does this command effect the real world? If yes it always needs to be inside functions!
