Why is the Error 212:...Missing initialisers displayed?

FAQ #101107

 

Problem
An array is defined in the symbol table:

Group/Symbol	Type	address/value
Symbol0	Register	[3]
Symbol1	Register	Symbol0+1
Symbol2	Register	Symbol0+2

If the first symbol of the array has a "first time data initialisation" the following error appears:
Error 212: Untitled1.sy5: Line 4: Missing initialisers

Group/Symbol	Type	address/value
Symbol0	Register	[3] :=0
Symbol1	Register	Symbol0+1 :=1
Symbol2	Register	Symbol0+2 :=2

Solution
At the moment the only solution is, to define the whole array in the first symbol or to realize the first time data initialisation elsewhere, per example in the XOB 16.

Group/Symbol	Type	address/value
Symbol0	Register	[3] :=0,1,2
Symbol1	Register	Symbol0+1
Symbol2	Register	Symbol0+2

In future versions of PG5 a better solution is planed.
