Check Subprogram Exists

[guypb]

Is it possible to do a statement such as an "IF THEN ELSE" in a main CNC Program to see if a subprogram already exists in the memory prior to doing a G65Pxxxx or M98 call. I want to skip past the subroutine program call if the subprogram doesn't exist - that then ensures the main program doesn't alarm out?

DIR or O(program#) and then "Up or Down arrow" or O(program#) and search.

I'm sure there are some macro wizards out there that can.I knew a guy that created one that would dial his home # if there was a tool breakage alarm.My best advice would be to insert a block skip in front of the that line..

not that I am aware of. Here are is an example of "IF statements that work"

IF[#530EQ0.]THEN#530=54
M115
M161
IF[#7NE#501]THEN#3000=110(D NOT EQUAL TO #501)
#501=#7(O.D. OF STOCK)
#100=#3(CHAMFER AMOUNT)
#101=#18(RADIUS)
#102=TAN[22.5]
#103=COS[45.]
IF[#13+#19LT1.]THEN#3000=102(M OR S IS NE TO 1)
IF[#13+#19GT1.]THEN#3000=103(M OR S IS WRONG)
IF[#13EQ1]GOTO25
IF[#19EQ1]GOTO30
#3000=104(CHECK M OR S)

If the subprogram doesn't excist, why don't you just remove the subprog call(G65/M98)?
Or am I missing something here?
