Embed a post with a # variable.

[medaq]

I am having a program forcing a post to post a macro statement, since posting the # will hide anything behind it on that line. Is there a way to actually post it? 

 

I would like at the beginning of the program to look like this. Basically I am trying to automate having the program number being saved into the control. I can use manual entry, but I would prefer to have the statement higher up instead of so far down in the beginning. I also do not want to have add in the manual entry for every program we will be doing. 

 

 

 

%

O1122 ( PROGRAM )

#602=1122

pheader$ #Call before start of file

hour = int(time$)

min = int((time$ - hour)* 100)

if hour > 12, hour = hour - 12

if hour = 0, hour = 12

year$ = year$ + 2000

 

"%", e$

spaces$=0

*progno$, " ", scomm_str, sprogname$, scomm_end, e$

"#602=1122", e$ # <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<add here after *progno$ line

spathnc$ = ucase(spathnc$)

smcname$ = ucase(smcname$)

comment$ # File descriptor

spaces$=0

pheader$         #Call before start of file                         
      hour = int(time$)
      min = int((time$ - hour)* 100)
      if hour > 12, hour = hour - 12
      if hour = 0, hour = 12
      year$ = year$ + 2000

      "%", e$
      spaces$=0
      *progno$, " ", scomm_str, sprogname$, scomm_end, e$
      "#602=1122", e$  #  <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<add here after *progno$ line  
    spathnc$ = ucase(spathnc$)
      smcname$ = ucase(smcname$)
      comment$  # File descriptor
      spaces$=0

Thanks for the response Tim

 

This is a pre X version Post. So it is not using all the '$'

 

I have tried so many versions and layouts to figure how to post the comment as I need. I did find in the fanuc manual to make this easier. The program number is saved under #4000. So it does not need to post the prog no, instead it can read #602=#4000

 

So I guess the questions is now, is there a way to force the pound# sign no matter what, with [] or something? Might be futile do to the older version. But worth a try.

Yeah, we're going back a decade or so...

 

try;

 

35, no_spc, 602=, no_spc, 35, no_spc, 4000, e

Tried this as typed, and with no space. was not sure if you meant either way. But just get an alarm on this line. Currently "Variable not defined: no_spc"

[Tim Johnson]

Going just by memory and not having any documentation or posts at home, I thought no_spc was introduced in V9 but apparently I was wrong?

 

 

This is a pre X version Post.

 

 

Is your version pre maintenance V9? Or is it earlier?

sav_spaces = spaces

spaces = 0

35,  "602=", " ",  35,  "4000", e

spaces = sav_spaces

 

 

 

If sav_spaces is not defined then simply define it

 

 

near top of post put in 

 

sav_spaces   : 0
