Variables Configuration - VAR_CONFIG for variable with incomplete address

Hi,

I'm trying to generate a variables configuration as explained in codesys help for variable with incomplete address.https://help.codesys.com/api-content/2/codesys/3.5.12.0/en/_cds_variables_configuration/#id1 .

But when I click on Declarations > Add all instance paths (Step 6), I get the error


When I try to compile the program now I get the error that there is no VAR_CONFIG for the variables with incomplete address.

I seems to be a chicken-and-egg situation. 

I have many function blocks with variables with incomplete adresses, has somebody an idea how to generate the variables configuration?

thx in advance

Hello

Problem: per default we can't make a "build" only anmore. and with the "generate code" we run into the descriped problem.

Workaround: Add the "build" only button to the menue again.

  • open customize dialog unter Tools

    

 

  • open Build tree and select an empty node
  • press "Add Command"
  • Select Build
  • press Ok

After this the build only button is available again and the descriped procedure works.

Regards

Jochen
