    Hi there,

    I have seen both above functions being called to instantiate programs from Codesys, but I could not get what is the main advantages and drawbacks for each case. Do the SysProcessCreate2 instantiate a program which stay resident at the OS whereas the SysProcess ExecuteCommand2 just make a callback to the command at its argument?

    Once I'm out of office, for while I'm unable to taste the differences among both functions.

    Thanks in advance,
    Andre.

    It is as you have said.

    And yes, it is a known bug with _ when used in the forum.

    As such the entire forum will be moved to a new platform, forge.codesys.com, should be this weekend. I have tested, and you can say _ on the newer platform. In fact, the new platform gives other improvements too.
