bit shift left error

I have the code below in a PPMAC script file. It is reporting "syntax error, unexpected SHIFT-LEFT" on the first line that has the <<. The following lines do not report the error. If I comment out the first shift left line, then the next shift line reports the same error. The editor shows the first << as underlined in red showing the error. According to the PPMAC software reference manual, this command should be allowed. Any ideas on what I'm missing here?

// Write flag data to Modbus

temp_byte = rRange200y;

temp_byte << 1;

temp_byte |= rRange200x;

temp_byte << 1;

temp_byte |= rRange100z;

temp_byte << 1;

temp_byte |= rRange100y;

temp_byte << 1;

temp_byte |= rRange100x;

temp_byte << 1;

temp_byte |= rESTOP_Out;

temp_byte << 2;

Sys.ModbusServerBuffer[2] = temp_byte; //load byte

Without checking I am guessing that it is complaining that you have not assigned the left-shifted value to anything.

Maybe

temp_byte = rRange200y;
newtemp = temp_byte <<;
...

Figured the problem out with the syntax error.

should have been:

temp_byte <<= 1;
