I am assuming your refering to Fanuc Macro "B". The sub program is called with a M98 or a G65 and ends with a M99. If you call the subprogram with a G65 you can pass data into the subprogram. See your Fanuc manual. If you use 9000 program numbers there editing can be restricted. GPOST has nothing to do with a Macro B subprogram. I write the subprograms manually. If you will give an e-mail address I'll send you some samples.

Thanks for the reply I know how to do sub program, but how to accomplish it in Pro-NC. I also do it manually. I could not see any option in pro-e to create this.

1. CIMFIL/ON,DEFSUB $$ starts on all DEFSUB records SUBNUM=POSTF(7,4) $$ first parameter of the DEFSUB command $$ Convert the scalar SUBNUM to a string O followed by 4 digits TPNUM=TEXT/O,CONVF,SUBNUM,4,0,0,1,1,$

SEQNO/OFF INSERT/TPNUM SEQNO/10,INCR,1 CIMFIL/OFF

$$ stop sequence numbering $$ insert sub-program number $$ restart sequence numbering $$ end of CIMFIL on DEFSUB

The next step will be to create a FIL routine on the CL record that marks the end of a sub-program: ENDSUB. On the Fanuc control, the end of sub-programs is defined by an M99 code. CIMFIL/ON,ENDSUB $$ starts on all ENDSUB INSERT/(TEXT/M99$) $$ insert end of sub-program code SEQNO/OFF $$ stop sequence numbering INSERT/(TEXT/ $) $$ insert a blank line SEQNO/ON $$ restart sequence numbering CIMFIL/OFF $$ end of CIMFIL on ENDSUB Finally you must create a routine on the sub-program call CL record: CALSUB. On the Fanuc control, sub-programs are called using a M98 code followed by a P-block and the sub-program number. CIMFIL/ON,CALSUB $$ starts on all CALSUB CNUM=POSTF(7,4) $$ first parameter of the CALSUB command $$ Convert the scalar CNUM to a string M98P followed by $$ the sub-program number TPNUM=TEXT/M98 P,CONVF,CNUM,4,0,0,1,3,$ INSERT/TPNUM $$ output sub-program call CIMFIL/OFF $$ end of CIMFIL on CALSUB
