I am making a custom PCI for a bar feeder we have that needs some variables set at the beginning. I was able to make a dialog that asks for everything, and then outputs the NC code.

My problem comes in when I'm trying to output a line that has logic, but the PCI thinks it's trying to use a variable.
The line in question is:

IF[#525EQ2]GOTO999

The PCI thinks that [#525EQ2] is a variable, so it keeps outputting a 0 in place of the code.

Is there anyway to make that know it's a string and not a variable. I know in javascript you can add a \ in front of certain things to make sure they are output, but whenever I tried to save as a JS instead of PCI the file was blank.

Another question I have is how to force output to have ".0" at the end if it is a whole number. I have "Force '.' on integers" checked in the Format Table, but I guess that isn't translating to the Insert NC Code dialog.

Hi MikeHTech,

I have this code in a Mazak "Sub Spindle Dock Running" constructor
it checks for and sets the B pickoff position #100 on the first part.

;CODE:#USESUB = 1
;CODE:#SBNUM=#SBNUM+10
;CODE:#USER2=#SBNUM
;CODE:#USER3=#SBNUM+1
;CODE:#USER4=#SPEED
;CODE:$USER1=$TOOLDESCRIPTION

(SET B PICK POSITION)
N[USER-2] IF [#100NE0] GOTO [USER-3]
G28 U0 (MOVE TO X HOME)
M5 M205 M305[<C>CHUCK2-OPEN] (STOP OPEN SUB)
[C_RELEASE][SUBRELEASE] (SPINDLES FREE)
M0 (PROGRAM STOP)

(MANUALLY MOVE B TO PICK POSITION)
#100=#5024 (SET B PICK POS)
#102=#100+[PARTLENGTH] (SET G50 Z OFFSET)
M5 M205 M305[<C>CHUCK2-OPEN] (STOP OPEN SUB)
N[USER-3]
;CODE:%IF #BARFEED = 1 %THEN %GOTO @TRSBAR
