[Bug Fix] Syntax checker in RAPID Editor should Check string length

DenisFR

Hello,

Writing a too long string (>80 chars) I get error:

String too long(141): The string RL3 is too long.

But only when applying in normal task or with Check Program.

In my case, I'm editing a background task module reloaded with P-Start.

So no way to get this error as module is simply not loaded.

Could Rapid Editor's syntax checker (red underline) report it?

Hi...

It already occurred to me, when a string is concatenated to another it could overflow the maximum size.
ex:

TpWrite "Ora: "+CTime()+"Data: "+CDate();

In this case 'CRime()' and 'CDate()' return small strings, but for other cases you can have the sum of strings with more characters, which returns the error.
ex:

 ErrWrite "ERR_ALIASIO_TYPE",""
                \RL2:="Signal types for FromSignal and ToSignal arguments are not the same"
                \RL3:="(signalx). Instrução AliasIO."+msg;

It does not generate an error when compiling, but if the instruction is executed there is a character limit.

SOON ...

ErrWrite "ERR_ALIASIO_TYPE",""
               \RL2:="Signal types for FromSignal and ToSignal arguments are not the same"
               \RL3:="(signalx). Instrução AliasIO."
               \RL4:=msg; 

no errors.

I hope it helps...

Hi,

I don't want syntax checker verify variables length but at least static ones.

The ones who make fail the module loading.
