Message

Probable Cause

Action

Save database, so that
occurrence numbers assigned
to blocks will be saved?


This message appears at the end
of each compile activity. The
reason is as follows:
During configuration, blocks
added to the graphical database
are assigned an invalid
occurrence number of zero.
During the compile activity these
blocks are assigned valid, non-
zero occurrence numbers. Valid
occurrence numbers, once
assigned, are not reassigned in
subsequent compiles. It is
important that occurrence
numbers not be reassigned
because other systems, such as
the LCP or PC-30, reference
blocks by block type and
occurrence number. If these
numbers are allowed to change,
these systems would no longer
reference the correct blocks.

The user should usually answer
YES because not saving leads to
reassignment of numbers to any
blocks with occurrence number
zero at the next compile, and this
assignment may differ from the
previous compile. Scan message
