Compilation Options

The compiler has a number of options available to help simplify the process of resolving compilation issues. Typically, these options modify the output of the compile error log, making it more practical to assess specific error types and entries.

The options listed here can be adjusted via the Citect Studio Options, accessible via the Activity Bar.

• Log "tag not defined" warnings during compile

If you select this option, the compiler will generate a "tag not defined" warning in the error log for any tags detected that are not defined in the variable database.

As Citect SCADA allows you to include undefined tags on your graphic pages, this warning may be redundant and impractical. By clearing this option, the warnings are still included in the displayed warning count, but they are not added to the error log.

• Log deprecated warnings during compile

If you select this option, the compiler will generate a warning to identify any deprecated elements it detects in a project, i.e. any functions, parameters, or Kernel commands that are no longer supported.

By clearing this option, the warnings are still included in the displayed warning count, but they are not added to the error log.

• Warn about unused tags during full compile

This option enables the generation of warning entries for unused tags that are not used directly in a Citect SCADA project. The warning entries are included in the compile errors form when a full compile is run. By default this option is not selected.
