Why no use smc_shared_dir$ to do this?  Seems easier.

sbufname4$ = smc_shared_dir$ + "buffer4.txt" 

 

Yes, that would work too. Thank you for pointing it out!

G code look ok 

this post we keep update from x6 to go on

please help

It is a permission problem while writing the buffer. Just specified where to save the buffer in the post using  sbufname4$:

sbufname4$ = "C:\Users\***your user name***\Documents\my mcam2019\Lathe\NCI\buf4.txt" 

*** your user name *** must be replaced with your username. Basically you are telling the post where to specifically save the buffer during the post processor run. I usually save the buffers in the NCI folder of the lathe or mill post in my mcamxxxx folder.

Place sbufname4$ (where the 4 stands for the buffer number)  right before the buffer definition (fbuf).

Jeremy,

when you select the program to run, make sure to change the running method to 'B-Mtd'. See the attached PDF for the running methods differences and the image for the location of the Running Method field. This applies to the P200M and P300M (milling). I am still working on the lathe side......

Jeremy,

on Wednesday I am back in the office and I will work on this issue. Being new to Okuma world and having the privilege to work in the Application Engineering department, I will try to understand if the DNC is really the only way to read over 2MB files.
