Problem- Serialized Engraving Macro help

[Kennebec]

This subject has been discussed but I am not as familiar with macros and subs as alot of you.
I am trying to engrave progressive serial numbers on parts 0001 0002 0003 ect with a Fanuc 18iM control. I want leading the leading zeros

I found the following:
---------------------------------------------
"X DIGIT SERIAL NUMBER MACRO

This macro is designed for to cut any number, up to 8 digits, on a flat surface. The

number of digits is only limited by the allowed variable length. The serial number will

be cut along the X axis, from the specified starting point then moving in the +X direction.

To call the macro use G65 in the following format:

G65 P5100 S__. C__. X__. Y__. Z__. D__. U__. H__. F__.

Where:
S 4 Digit serial number
C Number of digits for leading zeros
X X Position of first digit
Y Y Position of serial number
Z Start Z Position (Default 0.0”)
D Depth of serial number (Default 0.005”)
U Spacing of digits (Default 0.2”)
H Height of digits (Default 0.25”)
F Feedrate (Default previous specified)
All values must have a decimal point.

Make sure to call the correct tool BEFORE calling the macro program.

The machine need not be moved into position for the macro call. The macro moves X

and Y to position then down to a safe Z ½ inch above the surface. Position the machine at

a safe rapid height BEFORE calling the macro program.

Specify C to include leading zeros in the serial number. A serial number with number of

digits C will be output. If C is omitted the serial number will be cut as specified by S.

The X and Y start location is in the center of the first digit.

Any argument with a default value can be omitted from the macro call.

U is the center-to-center distance of the digits.

S can be specified any number from 0 to 9999. If less than 4 digits are specified, the

macro will add leading zeros.

To automatically increment the serial number in the program, use the following format.

#500 = #500 + 1.
G65 P5100 S#500 C X Y Z D U H F
-----------------------------------------
am I headed in the right direction?
I would think I would have to program each number 0-9, and I have done that, each number on a level and all about my origin. I believe I need to add the subs O0500(0) thru O0509(9) to the main program?
will this G65 line call and serialize my subs?

I believe I have what I have been searching for I now just need to spend some time in the custom Macro section of the Fanuc Book

thanks again everyone Im sure I will be back again...
