(2) Nest level of macro call command
The macro subprogram can be called in up to four levels using simple call (G65) and modal
call (G66/G66.1).
The macro call command's argument is valid only in the called macro level.
Since the macro call nest level is four levels, the argument for each macro call can be used in
the program as a local variable.
(3) Nest level of subprogram call
Counting the main program as 0, up to eight levels of subprograms can be called (G22) from a
subprogram.
The following commands are used for subprogram nesting.
(a) G22
(b) G65 G66 G66.1
(c) G code call Miscellaneous function call (M/S/T/B)
(d) MDI interruption
(e) Automatic tool length measurement
(f) Multiple-step skip function
The following commands can be commanded regardless of nesting.
(g) Fixed cycle
(h) Macro interruption
