Display program level

You can display the current program level during the execution of a large program with
several subprograms.
Several program run throughs
If you have programmed several program run throughs, i.e. subprograms are run through
several times one after the other by specifying the additional parameter P, then during
processing, the program runs still to be executed are displayed in the "Program Levels"
window.
Program example
N10 subprogram P25
If, in at least one program level, a program is run through several times, a horizontal scroll
bar is displayed that allows the run through counter P to be viewed in the righthand window
section. The scroll bar disappears if multiple run-through is no longer applicable.
