Maximum local data in FC

Simotion Posts: 223 Rating: (1)	How many temp-variables can I use as maximum in a function without having problems. What if I cross that limit? Will the system tell me, or won't it and will I experience other problems,

Test the L stack (the temporary variables) in your program. CPU 312C: 256 bytes max CPU313C: 510 bytes max CPU 315-2DP: 1024 bytes max… I presume that OB121 (Programming Error OB) will prevent you from going to STOP mode, but the offending block will probably never be executed. Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier

You could use STEP7 to determine the maximum used L-Stack. Do a Cross Reference on your program and check for every execution level (means every used OB) the number in the brackets. This is the maximum L-Stack usage for your program. Compare this to your permissible L-Stack size. If your used L- Stack is below that value, you're fine. If not off load some L-stack values to either global (not good style) or DBs to reduce the used L- Stack. Try to reduce the nesting depth.

Ithink OB88 might be the one for errors regarding local data but not the error of exceeding the length of local data. best regards. Attachment Local data & OB88.pdf (907 Downloads)
