In the variable -> GUD (global user data) you have 100 string variable.

_TXT[0]
_TXT[1]
...
...
_TXT[98]
_TXT[99]

You can using this variable to store text string when machine is off.

macro start:

VALSTR = _TXT[0]
...
...
...
macro end:
_TXT[0] = VALSTR
m30

or working only on _TXT[*] string variable without VALSTR.

enjoy!

extcall function is used to run programs on a memory card or directly from your
computer. Of course, it should also work in your case, but her true destiny is
different than yours. You should use the CALL or just type the name of the program,
eg.

N10 CALL "1DRILL"

N20 CALL "2MILL"
N25 CALL "3CHAMFER"
M30
%

or

N10 1DRILL
N20 2MILL
N25 3CHAMFER
M30
%

the next thing is that if the name of the program that begins with a number that
the call must look like this:

N10 CALL "_N_1DRILL"

N20 CALL "_N_2MILL"
N25 CALL "_N_3CHAMFER"
M30
%

or

N10 _N_1DRILL
N20 _N_2MILL
N25 _N_3CHAMFER
M30
%

the last thing you're doing wrong it is to use the character "%" is not eof (end of
file). at the end of the block M30, enter the enter button to move to a new line
and all that. eg.

...
...
...
M30 <LF> <---(end of block) correct block must end a LF character if block not have
a LF can't be read.
<--- Nothing (eof)

I see problem and mark to red

Scurr,

I thought about creating variables in one of the GUDs; and that might work but
IIRC, one needs to power down the machine to make them 'persistent'. I'm pretty
sure that I could create array to store results, but then I'd have something like
PROBE_RESULTS(X), where X could be a variable or a literal. But I don't think that
PROBE_RESULTS(524) is much more readable than R524.

To better explain my problem, what I really want to do is something this:

"N1460 MSG(" �6,0 X 214,25 G/L RENISHAW RMP60 PROBE")

N1470 MSG(" PROBE X AND Z PIN BORES, AND SELECTED FACES")
N1480 WRITE (_ERROR,RESULTS," TOOL: �6,0 X 214,25 G/L RENISHAW RMP60 PROBE")

This is a very brief chunk-o-code and as you can see, there several R-parameters in
which probe results are stored. As I mentioned in the first post in this thread, I
have copy a program and insert many more probing sequences in between two of the
existing sequences. While I can continue with the last used R-parameter, R582 for
example, I want to re-order the R-parameters starting at the top of the file,
renaming each one at every instance in the file, before incrementing the R-
parameter counter.

That way, my code is readable and more easily understandable without having to
resort to searching for every instance during execution out in the shop. By the
way, this is really only a problem during debugging of the program.

I can perform the desired renaming with a decent text editor like UltraEdit, (or
even Notepad for that matter), it's just that it would be much more convenient to
have a utility do this.

I also checked with a former Siemens employee as to the avilability of such a

beast; he said that he wasn't aware of anything that would do what I want.

Thanks for your reply,
