Macro B Newbi

[W00dM@n]

I use Router-Cim to create g-code for the Komo router. I am in cabinet construction. I recently started looking into Macro B programming and can not get this to work. All I want to acheive is for the operator to fill in x dim y dim and qty of rectangles to cut. here is my code

Here is the error

127 nc, macro statement in the same block

Can anyone point out where I am failing?

Also use [] a bit more often to keep things orderly - I once had a macro that was trying to look for #3.5....(#7/2)

I see the errors, thank you . I will try it and see.

Use square brackets everywhere:

G42D01G01Y[#3+1.7135]F375.
Y[#102+.0635]Z0.
X[#105+.4365]F750.
Y[#104+.4365]
X[#101+.0635]
Y[#103+.0635]
X[#101+.4385]F750.
X[#101+2.0885]Z.825

Sorry, but I'm struggling and learning
To save the sub as separate program does the name of the file need to be 100 or O100? or can it be anything. Is the following good?

%
O100(Begin Sub Program)
#100=0
#101=0.0(ZERO POINT X)
#102=0.0(ZERO POINT Y)
#103=#17
#104=#25
#105=#24
WHILE [#100NE#103]DO1
Z.825

X[#101+.4385]F750.

You can choose any number between 1 and 9999.
If you choose 100, the first line of the program should be O100 or O0100.
(Note the difference between O and 0)
It is called (once) by P100 or P0100

Correction:
G42D01G01Y[#103+1.7135]F375.

Correct, but brackets not needed:
#102=[#102+#104+0.5]
#100=[#100+1]
