I will take your advice and give up on the 2 variables and just builds a table like this:
#801=major fixture 1
#802=pitch fixture 1
#803=minor fixture 1
#804=major fixt. 2
#805=pitch fixt. 2
#806=minor fixt. 2
etc etc

Your way works better with some excel spreadsheets i have been working on for jobcards. It is going to be a dedicated machine pretty much so i going to used the 154p1-154p99(? forget high range) for the ~25-30 perm fixture positions we will have.As parts get larger we get fewer orders and they are larger pcs 1-2 runs). Although i did use your g52 example to write the logic and loops counts for the intial x,y web centerline probing and for the lockdown plate clearance holes, and the part lockdown holes.


I did get it working by fixing the dual variable, then integer *.001 to reduce 1259 to1.259 and then find the .08 remainder[original 1259.08 - 1259.(fixed) * 100 to change .08to 8, then rounding this number, the amount of rounding errors was maybe .000345 which isnlt enough to affect the .xx places i would be using ~05 to ~56 for pitch. I will take your advice and give up on this idea. i definatley wouldn;t risk these results for moevment commands.
