Forum Post: Why isnt my function executed? ( Execution from RAM)

I have a function thats supposed to write to a flash location, so i need to  execute it from RAM. But when i step through the program i notice that it skips my function and returns to start..  And when i check if anything was written to flash i see thats its still empty. I am using the DMA to transfer the data from a buffer to the specified location. And i have checked my functions are working correctly, but when i choose to run it from SRAM nothing happens.

What am i doing wrong? 

//------------------Valuable Code--------------------//
// Running write function from RAM                   //
// The problem is that it steps over the function //
//                                                                         //
//---------------------------------------------------     //

//Write program from 0x4800-0x5FFF to XDATA 0x0000-1FFF (SRAM)
cnt = 450;
ProgramPointer = (unsigned char)((unsigned int)(0x0000));
pg = 9;
Read_Flash(pg,offset,ProgramPointer,cnt);

//Erase the page we want to write to
pg = 5;
cnt = 8;
offset = 0;
Erase_Flash(pg);

//Map XDATA 0x0000-1FFF to SRAM and execute from SRAM
MEMCTR |= 0x08;
//Run the function from RAM
//Call function in SRAM
asm("LJMP 0x8000");

//Check for the written values.
cnt = 450;
ProgramPointer = (unsigned char)((unsigned int)(0x0000));
pg = 5;
Read_Flash(pg,offset,ProgramPointer,cnt);

Thanks for any reply!
