Can not change String Variable length in CMOS

    I have a CRX Plugin that I been developing. I have a String Variable declared as

    Code
    LW_Logs_File_Path       	IN CMOS : STRING[20]

    and everywhere I need to reference it I have

    Code
    LW_Logs_File_Path       IN CMOS from IPL_CMA_LightWeld_CFG  : STRING[20]

    I have attempted to change the length to STRING[30] everywhere but during install I get a VARS-022 Duplicate creation TYPE mismatch.

    I have uninstalled the plugin, Manually deleted any known files that have the above lines of code in them as well as the variable files, but I still can not get the update to install.


    Is there a CMOS file or something I can do to unalocate the apparent string length 20 that is reserved?

    There must be a way to purge the old CMOS Variables that are not used. With Karel Programs to do this I need to delete the .pc then the .vr. After the .vr is deleted I can recompile the .kl and the variable is set to the new value.

    Hi Corey Applegate, I think I have the same problem as you.

    I wrote a Karel program which use for declaration variable of my other Karel program (like library somehow). When I load the program in the Robot, I have this error :

    VARS-038 WARN Cannot change CMOS/DRAM type
    Cause: An existing variable is being created in a different memory area (CMOS vs DRAM)
    Remedy: Delete the variable or change the memory type to be used.

    I don't understand why it's cannot be loadable in the physical robot while in Roboguide I haven't any problem

    Code
    TYPE
[..]
stPlanPal FROM KSR_GestPlan = STRUCTURE 
	sNomPlan  	: STRING[20]               
	sDate      	: STRING[20]                
	sAuteur    	: STRING[20]               
	sVersion   	: STRING[20]               
[..]
VAR 
PLAN_PALET		IN CMOS FROM KSR_GestPlan: ARRAY[4] OF stPlanPal

    Before to load the .kl program, I'm check if the .vr is deleted too.
