Custom Drill Cycle won't output R value for additional points

[cncgotoguy]

I'm using the custom drill cycle to create a double fine boring cycle. 

When there is only one hole, it works fine, but when there are additional holes, it doesn't post out the retract value.

for one hole, It uses the postblock pdrlcst$ and outputs the retract value through the postblock prdrlout

for the additional hole, it uses the postblock pdrlcst_2$, and even though I have the postblock prdrlout, it won't read it 

Looking to get the R value in all lines that have the G76

 

Here is the section of the post

 

pdrlcst$         #Custom drill cycles 8 - 19 (user option)
      #Use this postblock to customize drilling cycles 8 - 19
      pdrlcommonb
      pcan1, pbld, n$, "G76", pfxout, pfyout, pfzout, pcout,*prdrlout, *shftdrl$, dwell$, *feed, *sgdrlref, strcantext, e$
      pcom_movea
      pbld, n$, "G00", e$
      pdrlcommonb
      pcan1, pbld, n$, "G76", pfxout, pfyout, pfzout, pcout,*prdrlout, *shftdrl$, dwell$, *feed, *sgdrlref, strcantext, e$
      pcom_movea
pdrlcst_2$       #Custom drill cycles 8 - 19, additional points (user option)     
      pdrlcommonb
      pcan1, pbld, n$, "G76", pfxout, pfyout, pfzout, pcout,*prdrlout, *shftdrl$, dwell$, *feed, *sgdrlref, strcantext, e$
      pcom_movea
      pbld, n$, "G00", e$
      pdrlcommonb
      pcan1, pbld, n$, "G76", pfxout, pfyout, pfzout, pcout,*prdrlout, *shftdrl$, dwell$, *feed, *sgdrlref, strcantext, e$
      pcom_movea

The force operator (*) only works on variables, prdrlout is a postblock call.

I'd use the force function on the variable that's in prdrlout before calling it.

Thanks Jeff! That makes sense.

Do you know which variables on which to put the (*)?

prdrlout        #R drill position
      if cuttype = one, refht_a = refht$ + (rotdia$ / two)
      else, refht_a = refht$
      refht_i = refht$ - initht$
      if cuttype = three, refht_a = w$
      if absinc$ = zero, refht_a, !refht_i
      else, refht_i, !refht_a

 

This is the code that is posted.

Thanks Jeff. That worked. Here is the postblock and the added forced variables if someone else has this problem.

 

prdrlout        #R drill position
      if cuttype = one, *refht_a = refht$ + (rotdia$ / two)
      else, *refht_a = refht$
      *refht_i = refht$ - initht$
      if cuttype = three, *refht_a = w$
      if absinc$ = zero, *refht_a, !refht_i
      else, *refht_i, !refht_a
