You have uninitialized variables on lines 621, 701, and 784. The number in brackets is the column position of the start of the uninitialized variable, so that should help you track it down.
Once you have that sorted, I would try calling ptool_name where you were calling pstrtool.
That's what it started doing when I put the part of the post that you gave me in there

Ah! you are using the enhanced tool table! I can't reproduce this issue, so I'd need to see the whole post. I do see a few things in the code you posted that I don't like, but nothing that would be causing your issue.
I'd kick it up to you're reseller, they'll be able to sort you out.
What were the things you didn't like so I can get them to look at it as well?
-
Do I need to just add it or delete what I have and replace it with that?

MC 2019 That's what its doing now.

Yeah I appreciate it but it didn't like the code. Kept giving me a label has not been defined, illegal character, and label not found alarm and would post with no description at all. I looked and the last time this post was edited was in 2007. besides the edits I have done.

Im not sure if this has been a topic before I look and nothing really fit. But when I right click in the toolpath box to get a tool list. I click on tool list and nothing ever happens. I can click the setup sheet and get an error about not having a file it needs but nothing when I do the tool list. I just recently moved all my mastercam from on a server to my drive. JUst wonder if its missing a file as well.

I remembered what it was so I got it
-
Im trying to switch the tooloffset page to where it reads the length and the wear. I know its a parameter but just cant remember which one. I think its an L parameter. Right now it only reads length.
-
that was my next move just hoping it was something simple. Thank you for your help

Got another post question. In my tool table after I post. My first tool that is called up the tool description matches the last tool in the tool table. If you look at T28 its a facemill but in the description of that tool it says 1/4 reamer. Not sure if this has been answered before or not.
( T28 2.625 FACE MILL / SHELL MILL ) ( T1 1/2 1-1/4 FLUTE E2033 ) ( T2 1/2 6 FLUTE EM E3105 ) ( T9 3/16 ENDMILL E2010 ) ( T4 #2 CENTER DRILL E2502 ) ( T15 LETTER "C" DRILL E1202 ) ( T17 1/4 CHAMFER TOOL ) ( T16 1/4 REAMER E4512 ) N2800 ( 1/4 REAMER E4512 ) T28 T00 M6 G0 G90 G54 X-5.8875 Y.8437 A0.
