A complete part program can consist of a main program and several
subprograms. For details on subprograms, see page 10-12.
Enter as many as 8 alphanumeric characters for program names, which the
control uses to call up programs for editing or automatic operations.
Subprograms are designated with the letter O followed by 5 numbers. If
you enter a new program name with 5 numeric characters, the control
assumes that it is a subprogram and automatically inserts the letter O as the
first character in the name. However, the control does not consider
programs with more than 5 numeric characters as subprograms.
The control first lists subprograms in numerical order, from lowest to
highest. Following the subprograms are the main programs, which are
listed in alphabetical order.
