Special features of recompilation
The GC function cannot be called in sub-dialogs because variables originating from master
dialogs can be used in sub-dialogs. These variables would not, however, be available in
response to a direct call.
When generated code is processed manually with the Editor, the number of characters for
values created by the code generation program must not be changed. Changing these
values would make it impossible to recompile the code.
Remedy:
1. Recompile
2. Make change using the configured dialog. (e. g., 99 → 101)
3. GC

In the case of HMI Embedded sl, the target file specification is converted into NC notation
and the file is created on the NCU.
In the case of HMI Advanced or HMI Embedded WIN32, the file is created in the data
management path.
Possible with both HMI Advanced and HMI Embedded sl
The file is written to the specified directory on the hard disk or on the specified PC,
provided that the directory is available on the hard disk or on a remote PC.
In the case of HMI Embedded sl this notation can only be used to write to the RAM drive
or to a networked PC provided that a network connection has been configured.
Note
Invalid variables generate a blank string in generated NC code and an error message in
the log book when they are read.
