PG5 build error "Too many FB parameters" even if the FB parameters are correct

FAQ #100559

 

Symptom
A "rebuild all files" of a project containing CSF instructions failes sometimes (not always and the line where the error occurs is not always the same, either). The error indicated in the message window of PG5 Project manager is:
Error 56: SimpleFile.src: Line 100: Too many FB parameters (max. is 255)
On the other hand, a "Build changed files" of the same project is working properly.

 

Reason
The reason for this problem is a bug in the Saia PG5 Build Utility (SAsm32.dll).

Solution
You can either install the patch attached to this FAQ or you can introduce a (never called) FB before the CSF causing problems. An example for introducing such a non-called FB could be the following:

;Dummy FB which is never called
;prevents invalid 'too many FB parameters' error
DUMMYFB	EQU	FB
	FB	DUMMYFB
	ACC	L
	CFB	H	DUMMYFB	;never called
	EFB
