repeat multiple steps on another WCS?

Hello,
So I know there is a way to loop an operation in G-Code, and I know i could use manual entry in mastercam to do it, but I was wondering - is there a way in MasterCAM to just select a whole group and tell it to do each operation on multiple WCS - like G54, then G55, etc?
It seems like that would be a very desirable feature but I can't find anything for that, and manually inserting a loop command before and after every operation could get tedious and would be more prone to error than something automatic.

And i should ask this in the HAAS forum but while I'm posting about this, but if I can't have MasterCAM do it automatically, do any of you guys know the actual commands for a HAAS to loop and repeat something in another WCS? I found some info on non-HAAS stuff but haven't seen the right code for a HAAS yet.

Thanks,
-Taylor
