Calling Any Program As A Subprogram - HEIDENHAIN TNC 620 User Manual

Calling any program as a subprogram

Danger of collision!
Coordinate transformations that you define in the
called program also remain in effect for the calling
program too, unless you reset them.
If the program you want to call is located in the same
directory as the program you are calling it from, then
you only need to enter the program name.
If the called program is not located in the same
directory as the program you are calling it from,
you must enter the complete path, e.g. TNC:
\ZW35\ROUGH\PGM1.H
If you want to call a DIN/ISO program, enter the file
type .I after the program name.
You can also call a program with Cycle 12 PGM CALL.
As a rule, Q parameters are effective globally with
a PGM CALL. So please note that changes to Q
parameters in the called program also influence the
calling program.
Call a program with PGM CALL
The PGM CALL function calls any program as a subprogram. The
control runs the called program from the position where it was
called in the program.
To select the functions for program call, press the
PGM CALL key
Press the CALL PROGRAM soft key for the TNC
to start the dialog for defining the program to be
called. Enter the path name with the keyboard, or
Press the SELECT FILE soft key: The TNC displays
a selection window in which you can select the
program to be called; confirm with the END key
