Just talking out loud....How big is your control memory Jake?

Because if you can, you can't beat running internal sub progs - ones that stay in the 1x main program. This way no one forgets to save the subs at the end of the job run, because they're within the prog....

FWIW, after going round in circles with this back in the day, we decided to just use 0001 for 1st sub call and 0002 for second etc. Because the subs are saved in the folder with the main prog, and the sub header also stated "SUB FOR PROG NO XXXX", so there was never any issue with potential mixup.

Obviously later controls and 8 digit prog numbers would allow better file numbering (ie all subs to start 5xxxx for example)

All of my routers and subs are after the M30 code but you can't see any difference on the machine.
