Definition of file names

With that command in NC program file names can be defined, which are used from specific NC functions for example for the creation of a report file or for the call of a NC program.

#FILENAME [ <file_id>"<filename>" { <file_id>"<filename>" } ] (modal)

<file_id> File identification

file id's	Significance
MSG	Name of the report file for #MSG SAVE. Default name is "message.txt".
M6	Name of the global sub program for implicit program call at M6 in NC program. The name is valid until M30. M6 is not used as M function anymore! Default name is set in[1]-43.
G80 G89	Name of the global sub programs for implicit program calls at G80 G89 in NC program. The names are valid until M30. Default names are set in[1]-45.
G800- G819	Name of the global sub programs for additional implicit program calls at G800 G819 in NC program. The names are valid until M30. Default names are set in[1]-46.

Optional an equation sign (=) can be programmed between <file_id> and <filename>. The file names can be defined or changed in NC programe with #FILENAME at any time.

The file names are set on the default name at RESET and NC program start.
