only the block that already have sequence numbers {ONLY N}
Important: Any sequence numbers in a block that are referenced in the
current program by a paramacro “GOTO” or “WHILE” or by a roughing
cycle are also renumbered. In order to maintain proper program execution,
you must manually alter the “GOTO,” “WHILE,” or roughing cycle blocks
target block sequence number.
You can merge a complete part program within another part program while
one of the programs is in the edit mode. To merge part programs follow
these steps:
1. Move the cursor in the program display area just after the location
that another program is to be inserted. The merged program will be
inserted to the left of the cursor with each end of block statement
creating a new line.
2. Press the continue softkey { Þ } to change the softkey functions.
