Word parsing?

[YT2095]

I`m having a lot of trouble trying to parse numbers bigger than 255,
I`v tried the SysCalcTempx originally, and it didn`t work so I tried it manually here:

Number = 255
       
        If Number >= 1000 Then
            Num1 = Number / 1000
            Number = number - (num1*1000)
        End If
       
        If Number >= 100 Then
            Num2 = Number / 100
            Number = number - (num2*100)
        End If
       
        If Number >= 10 Then
            Num3 = Number / 10
            Number = number - (num3*10)
        End If
       
        num4=number

this code Should, be able to take a 4 digit number, and then parse these as individual digits that I can put into a display, but any number greater than the 255 show, screws everything up, for instance 256 displays 250.

is SyscalctempX a 16 bit variable, it would be nicer to use that if it is?
am i using the  casting correctly?
basically I really cant see Why the above doesn`t work?

help please! :)

look at the  lcd.h file for a good example in the "sub print"

the lcd.h file is in the directory  \GCBASIC\include\lowlevel\lcd.h

Thanks, I see where I was going wrong now, I didn`t put in the "Dim SysCalcTempX As word" line.
I thought it was a Comment :)
