    }
void main()

TRISB=0x00;
TRISC=0x00;
    char c[]="JARVIS";
    lcd1();
    int d=0;
    while(c[d]=='\0')
    {
        data(c[d]);
        d++;
        }
}

on my simulation result lcd on ,cursor on but the data was not properly display.

Well Ironman!! Are you using Proteus??

You don't have any of the delays required in the datasheet

In addition to the delays (16x2 LCDs are very slow devices), you also need a bias voltage on the bias pin. Adjust the bias voltage until you can see faint gray rectangles over each character.
