Subroutine Callout with Macro Variable

[YZ426Tony]

Hey there,

I have 1 main program and 12 sub programs that i'd like to be able to change a macro variable #V2 to call the sub. I've done this before with my Haas and Fanuc controllers. The Fadal 88 controller is giving me and invalid error. Here is an example:


This works on the Fadal

G0 Z.25
M5 M9
G9(Decelaration on)
G0 G28 G91 Z0
M98 P4530
G0 G90 X0 Y0 E40
M30

This does not

G0 Z.25
M5 M9
G9(Decelaration on)
G0 G28 G91 Z0
M98 P#V2
G0 G90 X0 Y0 E40
M30

Ive tried with the P without the P doesn't make a difference.

What am i missing?

Thanks in advance.

I think you need brackets in your expression for P#V2. I am not exactly sure where the bracket need to go, I am still new to macro programming myself. Also in my work so far with macro variables, so far I use #2 to address macro variable number 2, not #V2. you may want to check that, although I am not working on a Fadal so that system may be different.
