exitpost

[eltklas]

Hi to all. I need use exitpost but when I use it is made the head of the NC file and it is save in disk. Is there any way to abort the NC writting?. for example If I have processed two operation but if the third is not correct I want to cancel the NC writing. Thanks for your help.

You want to "skip to the end", or you want to "ignore the output of a particular operation"?

You can suppress NC Code output with 'no_nc_out$' Command Variable:

      no_nc_out$ = yes$

This will "dump the output stream" to a temp file, that just gets deleted. But if you need additional characters in the File (like "M30" or "%" at the end), you need to remember to go into 'peof$' (end of file Post Block), and to set 'no_nc_out$ = no$', so you can then "output additional characters to the NC File".

If you don't want to output anymore characters, but you want to "do something" after the NC File has been processed (and had been 'closed' or written-to-disk), then you should perform additional actions in 'ppost$' Post Block.
