Update as of 2025: This function (IECStringUtils.FormatDateTime) doesn't make any sense there isn't any parameter that accepts a Date_Time value. I have no idea what's purpose even is. I am going to use StuSprintf from the StringUtils library for this purpose.

I think this is the same or similar to https://forge.codesys.com/lib/counit/tickets/58/ I figured out that this was occurring because assert was being called continuously

I don't understand the point of this. Isn't just better to use __SYSTEM.AnyType instead of making your own type? Also if you wanted to make it an object, shouldn't you just wrap a FB around __SYSTEM.AnyType and then have some conversion Methods? Maybe I am missing the purpose of this code. Maybe add more details on how you would use MyMappingFB

I also would like to now how to clear the PLC Device Log. @eschwellinger are you saying there is no way to clear the log? When I am debugging I want to clear the log, it would make things some much easier to find.

I just opened it in 3.5.18.4 and it didn't even give me that prompt at all. So I was able to see the code.

I figured that, but in 3.5.19.2 it has that option grayed out. Actually all options in that dialog are grayed out

Is there a work around for this? I was wanting to look at the the source code. Specifically the IList and IElement interfaces.

Is there a way to programmatically inject a source position in to the log like an Exception does, so they you can double click on it and have it take you to the source code position? I know there there is the POSITION operator but that doesn't do the same thing. __POSITION()
