CODECOMPOSER: GEL check if symbol exists

Martin Otzen

Part Number: CODECOMPOSER

Tool/software:

In the GEL language is there a way to detect if a symbol is defined or not?

pseudo code example:

OnHalt()
{
    if( defined( myMain ) )
    {
        GEL_Go(myMain):
    }
    else
    {
        GEL_Go(main);
    }
{

I checked with engineering and this is not really possible. If a non-existent symbol is referenced, the GEL execution will simply fail and abort. There is no wat to handle the failure or to check if the symbol exists.

Thanks
