control panel.

If you wish to execute a new program, enter the program number.
Enter the program number and the corresponding identifier (%, L, MPF or
SPF) via the keyboard.
You can delete character by character from right to left in the input line with
the DELETE INPUT key.
Press the SELECT PROGRAM softkey. The selected program is accepted by
the program pointer.
Caution
If a program is entered as % ... or L ..., it appears in the program pointer as
MPF ... or SPF ....
It is also possible to select programs that are not in the part program memory
of the NCK. The error message "Program not in memory" then appears if NC
