RAPID programming

Martiner

I would like to use record data type in my program. I read manual, done steps according to it and rapid writes errors. Has anyone experience with aliaces and records? Could you write me the way to do this?

If you're programming an S4C+ controller, you will need the "Developer's Functions" option (or an option including it). On IRC5+ you probably need the "Advanced RAPID", but I'm not 100% sure.
If you don't have it, the controller will give you a syntax or sematic error.
Check the options you installed when you load the system.

If everything is ok, definition of new records is straightforward:

MODULE MyModule
 RECORD MyRecord
    bool bField1;
    num nField2;
 ENDRECORD
 VAR MyRecord MyVariable

 PROC Main()
   MyVariable.bField1:=TRUE;
   MyVariable.nField2:=5;
 ENDPROC

ENDMODULE

Thank you very much claudio! Now it's OK. My problem was that I defined RECORD below VAR. If it is above VAR so that is correctly.
