When you work on a component created with ASCET V6.1 or earlier, and selected a variable with both the Virtual and Non-Volatile attributes set, a message window opens. It informs you that the variable uses forbidden attribute settings and asks you to change at least one of the attributes. You have to close this window before you can continue your work.
