PERSISTENT RETAIN variable type & Declaration in table f

2020-02-27T23:29:30.001000Z

Hello everyone

I came across strange issue. I have some variable of type PERSISTENT RETAIN and when I switch declaration view from text to table form, PERSISTANT is getting stripped out and moved into VAR section like variable NAME. So, when I covert back to text format, declaration of PERSISTENT RETAIN variables changes to RETAIN and PERSISTENT becomes its own varible. Here is an exampe.

I start with

VAR PERSISTENT RETAIN

testPersistantVar: BOOL := TRUE;

END_VAR

Then I go to table format and back to text, the declaration changes to

VAR RETAIN

PERSISTENT: BOOL := TRUE;

testPersistantVar: BOOL := TRUE;

END_VAR

Is this a bug in CoDeSys? Is there a way to create varibale PERSISTENT RETAIN in table format?

I am using CoDeSys version 2.3.5.8

Thanks
