Please provide a full example of what you tried to do.
And it would also be good to know why you want to uses statics instead of local variables. I really prefer locals.

we want to show time in lcd screen (show a register that defined as unit8_t)

The function that show the value that in the register (unit_8 static): (lcd_writestringvalue ("the time is",*register,glcd_decformt_c)

if the *register is static - the function display the content if its unit8_t it dosen't.

How its supposed to be?? what to chang in the fun to be able to display unit8_t register.

thank you?

void LCD_WriteString
(
uint8_t line, /* IN: Line in display */
uint8_t *pstr /* Pointer to text string */
)
{
uint8_t len;
uint8_t x;
uint8_t *error = "Wrong line 1 & 2";

if( line == 2 ) {
    LCDLine(LineTwo);
}
else if ( line == 1 ) {
    LCDLine(LineOne);
    }
    else {
   LCD_ClearDisplay();
   LCDLine(LineOne);
      pstr = error;
    }

len = GetStrlen(pstr);
for ( x = 0; x < len; x++ ) {
LCD_WriteChar( pstr[x] );
}

/* Clear the rest of the line */
for ( ; x < gMAX_LCD_CHARS_c; x++ ) {
LCD_WriteChar( ' ' );
}

Is "register" the name of your variable? If so, you need to give it a different name, as "register" is a reserved word in C, and cannot be used as an identifier.
