Do you think this XC8 C code for PIC16F1503 IS OK?

This code is to monitor the mains peak voltage, and repeatedly indicate the level to an external data logger via the pic16f1503 DAC.
Our code never works first time, so when we try it tomorrow, do you know what our problems will likely be?
The schematic for this code is also attached.

C:
// PIC16F1503 Configuration Bit Settings
// 'C' source line config statements

// CONFIG1
#pragma config FOSC = INTOSC    // Oscillator Selection Bits (INTOSC oscillator: I/O function on CLKIN pin)
#pragma config WDTE = OFF       // Watchdog Timer Enable (WDT disabled)
#pragma config PWRTE = OFF      // Power-up Timer Enable (PWRT disabled)
#pragma config MCLRE = ON       // MCLR Pin Function Select (MCLR/VPP pin function is MCLR)
#pragma config CP = OFF         // Flash Program Memory Code Protection (Program memory code protection is disabled)
#pragma config BOREN = OFF      // Brown-out Reset Enable (Brown-out Reset disabled)
#pragma config CLKOUTEN = OFF   // Clock Out Enable (CLKOUT function is disabled. I/O or oscillator function on the CLKOUT pin)

// CONFIG2
#pragma config WRT = OFF        // Flash Memory Self-Write Protection (Write protection off)
#pragma config STVREN = ON      // Stack Overflow/Underflow Reset Enable (Stack Overflow or Underflow will cause a Reset)
#pragma config BORV = LO        // Brown-out Reset Voltage Selection (Brown-out Reset Voltage (Vbor), low trip point selected.)
#pragma config LPBOR = OFF      // Low-Power Brown Out Reset (Low-Power BOR is disabled)
#pragma config LVP = OFF        // Low-Voltage Programming Enable (High-voltage on MCLR/VPP must be used for programming)

// #pragma config statements should precede project file includes.
// Use project enums instead of #define for ON and OFF.

The description "doesn't work" isn't helpful. What does it do/not do?

Mike.
BTW, I think this is the first time I've seen goto used in C.
 
Why do you have the PIC at all? Why not just send the scaled voltage directly to the data logger? It's not like you're sending values via UART or USB, you're using DAC!

As for the code:
- you don't need "#include <pic16f1503.h>" with XC8, "#include <xc.h>" covers it
- you don't need "return;" in your "void doADC(void)" function as you are not returning anything
- I would do a for() loop instead of while(1) with a break. Not sure how the compiler will deal with that.

Convention would you replace "here:" "goto here;" with "while(1) {" "[code ]" to create your never-ending loop.
