Debug Mode Error Messages
The most common warnings that you may get when entering Debug Mode (Debug > Start Debugging) are:
1.
No Debug Information:
FIG. 180
No Debug information
The source code file was not compiled with debug information - this can usually be ignored if you're only watching
variables, but if you're getting weird behavior, recompile with Compile with Debug Info enabled (in the NetLinx
Compiler tab of the Preference dialog).
You will always need debug symbols for breakpoint debugging.
2.
File no longer matches:

File no longer matches
If you've made any changes to the source file, including a re-save, you'll get a message similar to the one above. It can
often be safely ignored, but select No if you've done any significant editing.
3.
Missing files.
Using Current Length with Total Length Disabled
The way you initialize variables in your source code affects the use of Current Length.
For example, if you have a variable declared as:
CHAR cat[3]
in debug, Total Length = 3 and Current Length = 0.
If you modified the code as:
CHAR cat[3] = 'CAT'
in debug Total Length = 3 and Current Length = 3.
If you modified the code like this:
CHAR cat[3]
and then in the DEFINE_START section of your code you added:
cat[1] = 'C'
cat[2] = 'A'
cat[3] = 'T'
in debug Total Length = 3 and Current Length = 0, because setting values using array indexing does not set the
current length.
