M98 Format - Newbie Lost

[rcazwillis]

I am using Turbocnc to cut a part.
M98 P0100 L1

This line returned "A unique N word is required". I add n1 to the front of the line.

N1 M98 P0100 L1

Now the error message "A target line (0 word) is required." I cannot find any info on the format of M98. I understand it is calling a sub.

Your subroutine needs to start with the same line number as the P address in your M98 command line. The L1 means one repeat, which in most cases means you are not getting much mileage out of having a subroutine.
M98 P100 L1

M99 (return to main)

It's in the docs that are included with the download. Use "O" instead of "P", and it doesn't use an "L"
