18i-TB g98/99 HELP!

[kawipilot650]

If the g 98/99 are feed codes then how do i call out initial point return or R-plane return while using a drilling canned cycle?

G-Code system "A" always returns to the Initial Point.

From a book:

Final retraction after hole machining
There is some difference in the way these cycles are commanded/behave in different G-code systems. The description here refers to system A. System-B and system-C cycles are similar to canned cycles on milling machines, with provision for selection between R-point retraction and initial-level retraction with G99 and G98, respectively. In system A, the final retraction is up to the initial level, if parameter 5161#1 is set to 0 (its default value). When this parameter is set to 1, the final retraction is up to the R-point.
