DEVICE EXPLANATION
(3) Precautions for using common pointers
(a) When the same pointer No. is used as label
The same pointer No. cannot be used again as a label.
Such use will result in a pointer configuration error (error code:4021).
(b) When the total number of local pointer points exceeds the first number of
common pointer
If the last number of local pointers used in several programs overlaps the first
number of common pointers, a "pointer configuration error (Error Code: 4020) will
occur.
POINT
In the jump instruction, jumping to common pointers in other programs is not
allowed.
Common pointers should be used only with subroutine call instructions.
