CNC in which you want the total number of part programs stored
there. Valid values for cnc_directory_id are:

directory_spec index is enumerated as follows:
1 – Main CNC directory
2 – Protected CNC directory
The file_num index identifies the specific file in the directory. This
index is the position of the file in the directory, the first file being file
1. Files are placed in the directory in alpha/numeric order.
Requesting multiple part program comments will return the comment
strings separated by the Tab character. If a request is made for a
comment name string of a directory that is currently empty, the
server error code #29 is returned.
