Hi All,

Can anyone suggest me how to resolve the below issue when I am doing EPC check.

Issue: Insert a constant for the numerical literal 30.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Chakradhar.

You've defined a numerical literal 30 in your code, the Extended Program Check is recommending you replace this with a constant.

Hi Nick,

Thanks for ur reply. But the problem was I have nearly 17 numerical literals in my program it is burden again to declare constants and replace those values with constants.

Chakradhar.

Hello,

Its not good recommendation, but if you do not want to spend that much time then suppress those warnings/error using #EC NEEDED or some other relevant # commands.

Hi Chakradhar,

I didn't say you had to do it, only explained what it meant. EPC is a useful tool but like any automated check is never a full replacement for the experience and judgement of the developer.

That said, I don't think the fact the effort will be burdensome is alone justification for not considering the merits of addressing an EPC message.

Regards,

Nick

Then you might need to change all those numeric values to constant.

If possible, check the settings of EPC, and uncheck the check box which produces this result, but that could lead to other desirable error result to be ignored as well.
