Program # 9136 isn't a parameter turn-on thing. You just have to have Macro B and the program (actually a sub-program), Unless you don't have Macro B and need that parameter. If so, then you need to talk to the Colchester people or Fanuc to get it turned on.

Hi thanks for the reply, yes its a 9000 program and you execute it by calling up the G65 which reads the sub program, with this installed do i have to turn a parameter on so it reads the macro....?
thanks in advance

You shouldn't have to have a parameter turned on, since most machines are set up with Macro B enabled. In the off chance that Macro B is not enabled, there is always Macro A, which is more cryptic, but just as effective. Give it a try, see what happens.
