Aliasing possible in Sysmac Studio?

[Sergei Troizky 26]

Is it possible?
For instance, I want a BOOL with own name to be aliased to a member of ARRAY OF BOOLS.

You can use a structure with BOOL fields?

This is not aliasing, neither its emulation even for the simplest example I gave.

Hi Sergei, I Don't think Aliasing is possible like in RSLogix. 

[Sergei Troizky 26]

That's very sad, as very often there is a dilemma between a variable individual meaningful name and being a part of array/structure/union.

Sergei, it is possible by using address translation "AT" to set variables to point to the same memory location but it's not as easy as Tag Aliasing in RSLogix.

In Sysmac you could create an array of Bool for example and set the AT to %D100

You could then create a bool variable and have the AT set at %D100.5.

This would effectively become an alias but it would be difficult to manage on a large program.

Well, better than nothing. Thanks.

Definitely, aliasing should be added to improvement requests.
