Could I Change data type of state active status?

As you know, the Default Value of State active status is a uint8

( I found Such a Infomation from Google Information Searching so, I`m not Sure that It is right or not)

But I`d like to change this data type into uint16

If you know options or any other ways that I can apply Pls let me know

Where can I find the quote that the "active status" data type is set to uint8 (i.e., the screenshot)? I believe I can find the doc below about the active status of charts and default data type for self activity is boolean and child activity is enumeration.

I found that Infomation from Google Information Searching. so, I`m not Sure that It is right or not

Anyway, What you Recommend is that if I want to search more, should I refer that page right?

[Angelo Yeo]

No. I was wondering if I need to find another source to figure out the "active status" data type is set to uint8 as default.

Hi Minchul.

In MATLAB, even if you don't have the option to change the default type for a variable, you can type cast it to give it the type that you want it to take.

For example, if you want to type cast it to "uint16", you can do the following:

variable_uint16 = uint16(variable_uint8);

Thanks, But what I want is Agility of Processing Program,

so It would be better for me defining that constant like ( #define uint 16 Variable ) directly when I use embedded Code > Generate Code

To me, the easiest is to use Data Conversion block to change a boolean to uint16. See the attached model for details.
