    Don't know a thing about that control, but once on the macro page, try typing in 500 and hitting the search key (or down arrow key). On a Fanuc it will take you to the 500 series macros.

    On a Fanuc P9101, etc. have nothing to do with macros. You can call up a subprogram with M98P9101 or call up a subprogram and assign values to variables within the subprogram by using a G65 Macro Call such as G65P9314A.5K-1.1B.02F.009

    There are 9000 series macros (on a Fanuc), but they would be referred to by something like Parameter 9101 bit 4 or possibly Para 9101.4

    I suppose if the thread subject was Parameters you probably could write P9101.4 and everyone would understand what you meant.

    They are most likely Macro variables and their contents.

    The MSG803 is a Mitsubishi M64 CNC and when the machine was purchased new the total number of available variables was sold as an option.

    The local variables #1 -#33 were standard
    Comman variables #100 - #149 and #500 - #549 were standard

    additional variables came in increments of
    200, 300, 600, 700 sets.

    If you found the macro variable screen you should see the #1 to 33
    and at least the 100-149 and 500-549 you can see all the variables
    available when you hit the page down key on this screen.

    If you need more variables the option can still be purchased.
