Exponential functions

Hi all, this is my first post here and i hope you can help.

I am using a Omron CJ2M CPU31 and i am struggeling with an error in structured text when am working with exponents.

I can do 100,0**2
But not:
test1 =: 100,0;
test2 =: test1**2,0;

This leads to an compile error: KBASE 'constant out of range' error.

Any sugestions on how to avoid this issue?

How have you declared test1 and test2?

Hey,

Thank you for the reply. I figured out how to do it, but its still a little weird to me that the compiler did not accept it as it was.

I had to store mye "power" in a variable as well
test1 =: 100,0;
test2 =: 2,0;
test3 =: test1**test2;

It is MUCH faster to simply multiply 100*100. Don't use the ** function if the power is can be an integer.
