Citect Scada V8.1 (2018) update 37 complier throws an error "F4034 Cicode Function greater than 64K"

just noticed if i place my variable declarations ( approx. 150 variables of string type) before the function the error does not appear.

i am creating a logging file.

The error indicates that your compiled code exceeds 64KB, not the source (text) file.
If the issue persists, please split your function in smaller sub-functions. All functions can be placed in one cicode file.

When you say you moved the variable declarations before the function, do you mean they were after the end of the function or they were inside the function?

Only makes sense if it was inside the function. In that case the compiler would have to make memory reservations for the variables that would count toward the per-function limit. By placing the variable declarations before (or after) the function it changes the scope of these variables to 'module'. The compiler probably reserves a separate memory area for these.

Thanks Eric, declarations were inside the function, when I moved them into the file (module variable) compiler did not throw the errror.

Thanks Patrick, I don't think I can do this as I am doing a logging to *.CSV file and need all the variable to reside inside this function, making the declarations of 'Module' type will suffice. Noted about the "Compiled code exceeds 64KB"
