Hello jitendramishra,
I suspect you will get no suitable answers in this forum either. . .
As was explained to you before, using only a 9(02) counter, you cannot count to 900. If you are willing to adjust to a 2-byte counter, it becomes simple. If you use a second counter and count to 90 ten times, you can get to 900.
If you get an answer that works for you, it would be interesting to see. |
