Did you tried to just clean and rebuild all ? Pointers can be corrupted with online/partial edit

Hi Aliazzz, I'm using Codesys V3.5 SP13 Patch 1. "Machine automation platform" is the name of the project.

Have you try to change the name of compile?

Hi, just a small question off topic question out of sheer curiosity, what flavour of IDE are you using? (....e Automation Platform)

So it turned out to be an issue with the UDT_DIs that was being passed to the Insert_Input method (even though the test program was doing the same thing.....). I worked around the problem by copying the UDT_DIs structure to a temporary UDT_DIs, passing this, then copying the temporary UDT_DIs back to the original (with Codesys.... sometimes you need to tell yourself it was a bad dream and move on....)

Just to reiterate, you can do the method call I showed in the original post; I don't believe there is any fundamental issue with it.

Hi rickj,
Thankyou for your reply. Yes you're right - one must take care with IN_OUT. Unfortunately this is not my particular problem:
I have exported the FB and imported it into a blank project, and it works fine, even with apparently all external conditions the same. Maybe it's project corruption, but I have already done clean all/rebuild. Might need to rebuild the project from scratch using export/import.

I think the problem is with your Data/IN_OUT parameter. Under the hood, IN_OUT parameters are essentially pointers so you must declare an instance of UDT_DIs somewhere and then pass that instance to your methods.

If you define Data in the main body of your function block, it will be defined in and accessible from all methods.

I have the Compile and Insert_Input methods of a function block, and they both take as input a VAR_IN_OUT of type UDT_DIs:

Both methods work fine by themselves, but after adding a line to Insert_Input to call Compile, there is a program exception as shown.

I've read through the documentation on methods.
I've tried to use THIS^.xxxx
I've tried to assign Data to a temporary local variable and passing this to the Compile method.
What am I doing wrong?
