Hi All,
I would like to build an enumeration for the main wind directions like N,NNW,NWW etc.
There is one problem with S, because S is a reserved name for Set in flip-flops.
How can I declare S as a member of the enumeration WindDir?
TYPE eWINDDIR :
(
N := 1,
NNE := 2,
NEE := 3,
E := 4,
SEE := 5,
SSE := 6,
S := 7,
SSW := 8,
SWW := 9,
W := 10,
NWW := 11,
NWN := 12);
);
END_TYPE

Thank You and Best Regards, Michael

Hi,

I have got a workaround for this which is rather painless.
Just trail it with an underscore like so: S_

The compiler will accept it and you can use intellisense to find the enumeration quickly;

(* Example *)
WindDirection : eWINDDIR := eWINDDIR.S_; // default wind direction is south

Hi Aliazzz,
thanks for the Tip.I tried even with quotation and other special Character. Don't know why I did not test with underline, maybe it was late.
Anyway , I will name now all the 4 main directions to N, E , S, W . Then all have the same 3 char length, and they peak even stronger up :-)

Oh, why are the underline left and right of the characters are cut?
I want to write "N" ...

OK, i give up, bend down to the ground and pray to the holy web master, who programmed to change a single underline into a font action, even in quotations :-((
