That’s what I thought but get the same error when I tried it that way also.  Is it possible to display the value assigned to a variable in the NC prog without it displaying the name of the variable as well?

Yeah I forgot to say I initialized “nos” above in the code by inserting “nos :0” I also tried formatting without the dollar sign and got the same error.  I also tried doing it the way it was suggested 2 posts up and still got errors when posting.

Hey guys first message here.  I've been machining since 2005 but until today have never messed with a post.  I work for a university in their physics machine shop and am trying to get a post figured out.  Its for a HAAS vf2 so the default one that's on mastercam 2021 works pretty well but there is a couple things I added.  I changed the "Miscellaneous Values" inputs so I can use the variables they create in the pst file.  When I use the "mi5" variable in a pbld statement it puts the value associated with the variable in the NC code which is what I want, but it also puts the name of the variable with it.  I read in a parameter manual if the variable is not formatted this will happen.  I looked up the procedure for how to do this but when I post a NC file it has an error.  I'm moderately familiar with C++ so I thought this wouldn't be a big deal but apparently I was mistaken.  Can you spot the mistake?
