Chip used:AT89S52
Please help me to check if there's anything wrong with this program:
#include<AT89X52.h>
#define LCDP P1
sbit RS=P3^2;
sbit RW=P3^1;
sbit en=P3^0;
char line1[]="LCD test program";
void init_LCM(void);
void write_inst(char);
void write_char(char);
void check_BF(void);
void delay1ms(int);

main()
{
char i;
delay1ms(3000);
init_LCM();
P2_7=0;
while(1)
{
write_inst(0x80);
for(i=0;i<16;i++);
write_char(line1[i]);
delay1ms(2000);
}
}

void init_LCM(void)
{
write_inst(0x30);
write_inst(0x30);
write_inst(0x30);
write_inst(0x38);
write_inst(0x08);
write_inst(0x01);
write_inst(0x06);
write_inst(0x0e);
}

void write_inst(char inst)
{
RS=0;
RW=0;
en=1;
LCDP=inst;
en=0;
check_BF();
}

void write_char(char character)
{
RS=1;
RW=0;
en=1;
LCDP=character;
en=0;
check_BF();
}

void check_BF(void)
{
char i,x=0x80;
while(x&0x80)
{
RS=0;
RW=1;
en=1;
x=LCDP;
en=0;
for(i=0;i<10;i++);
}
}
void delay1ms(int x)
{
int i,j;
for(i=1;i<x;i++)
for(j=1;j<120;j++);
}

This is used to control a 1602 LCD but I don't know what's wrong with the program.(There's no any error on hardware.)

What is a 1602 LCD?

Your code looks like it's for a HD44780 controller, so I'm assuming you mean a HD44780 compatible LCD with 2 lines of 16 characters?

Also, what exactly is wrong with it? I'm assuming it doesn't work, but what are the symptoms? How do you know the hardware is OK? Did you remember to connect up the contrast voltage, and so on? There are dozens of HD44780 howtos and troubleshooting guides on the net.

And shouldn't it be (x && 0x80) instead of (x & 0x80)?
