Second line on LCD using XC8 and PIC16F877A

how to move cursor to next line
i tried to pass 0xc0 cmd but its not working

If you want help you need to give a lot more information on what you are doing and how you are trying to do it.
Sending the command 0xC0 does not move the cursor to the next line. 0xC0 will move it to address 0x40. Bit 7 defines the command to move to the display address defined in bits 0 to 6. The position of an address on a display depends on how many rows the display has and the number of characters per row. (And possibly the manufacturer of the display.) You will need to look at the data sheet for your display to find out the layout of addresses.

If the LCDinit() hasn't enabled the second line, then it won't be available..

Delay 15ms
LCDcmd(0x33); // 8bit interface..
Delay 5ms
LCDcmd(0x33); // 8 bit interface..
Delay 5ms
LCDcmd(0x38); // Function set.... 8bit + 2 line + 5x10 font
LCDcmd(0xC); // Display set... Disp on + cursor off + blink off..
LCDcmd(0x6); // Entry set... Increase cursor direction+ no shift

If you miss out 0x38 ( or 0x28 on a 4 bit ) then the second line isn't available..

i am using these header files and i am getting trouble in moving cursor to next line.

I can't help you programming in "C" I have only written code for LCD displays in assembler.

thanks ian i will go through it.

I can't see where you are setting line 2?

Not OpenXLCD(0xC0)..

Use WriteCmdXLCD(0xC0); If you re open the LCD it won't work properly...

while(1)
     {
     ADCvalue = hienled();
     voltage = ADCvalue * 5000 / 1023 ;
     x = voltage / 10 ;
     sprintf(buffer," TEMP = %d%c",x,0xDF);
     SetCGRamAddr(0);
     putsXLCD(buffer);
     WriteCmdXLCD(0x0);
     putsXLCD("Temperature Sensor");
     WriteCmdXLCD(0xC0);
     putsXLCD(buffer);
     }
