Script download problem

[steveneads]

Hi,

 

I have found a problem when downloading a motion program. PPMAC vers 2.3.2.5 and IDE 3.1.4.0.

 

I have a "sub" program which is called from a "subprog". The structure of the sub program is like this:

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------

sub: DoCalcs(void)

 

local var

 

//some code here

 

if (error)

{

//some code

return;

}

 

var = a + b; //some code using "var"

 

return;

------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

This code does not download because the local variable "var" is not recognised as an L variable. If I move the local declaration after the return that's inside the if loop, it will download. It seems that the sub doesn't get its end point right.

 

If I make a similar code structure in the higher level "subprog", it downloads perfectly ok - so it only seems to be a problem in the lower level "sub" program.

You declare your “local variables” as argument in the subroutine. The IDE automatically uses L-variables. There is no usage of “void”.

See the section “IDE Program Enhancements” in the “Power PMAC User’s Manual” starting on page 640 for details.
