P2044¶

Code: P2044
Message: Enumeration value is outside the range of DINT

This error occurs when an enumeration member’s value is outside the range of DINT, from -2147483648 to 2147483647.

Every enumeration is stored and compared as a DINT, whatever base type its declaration names, so a value outside that range has nowhere to be held. The compiler reports it rather than keeping the low 32 bits, which would give the member a different value from the one the declaration wrote, possibly the value of another member.

The check applies to every member:

a member given an explicit value, HUGE := 5000000000
a member that continues from the one before it, such as OVER in (TOP := 2147483647, OVER)

Example¶

The following code will generate error P2044:

Try it

Source

TYPE
    E_Code : (OK := 0, OVERFLOW := 5000000000) LINT;
END_TYPE

To fix this error, give every member a value within the range of DINT:

Try it

Source

TYPE
    E_Code : (OK := 0, OVERFLOW := 2000000000) LINT;
END_TYPE

Where a member has to carry a value from another system that does not fit a DINT, keep that value in a LINT constant or variable beside the enumeration rather than in the enumeration itself.
