6.4.4Common Problems

Since the location and size of a variable depends on a previously declared variable, it is possible to misspell a variable and end up with one or more variables starting at the wrong address. Therefore, it is worthwhile checking the MAIN.LST file and searching for RAMSTART_CUSTOMER, to ensure that all the customer variables are at the proper address.

Also, when modifying MAIN_RAM.IRX or any of the module RAM.IRX files, it is a good idea to build the project, rather than doing a make.
