Macro Variables Punch through a Program Or M Code ?

Is it possible to automatically output the Macro variable values into a program without physically using the softkey (which is the regular practice) ?

Any help from the Guru's is highly appreciated :)

Yea as long as you have the macro B option. I think most fanuc controls in the last 20 years usually have it turned on.

Make a macro program and assign it a G or M code.

Something like:

Code:

---

#1=500 (starting variable number to output)
#2=599 (ending variable number)
POPEN
WHILE [#1 LE #2] DO1
DPRNT[VARIABLE*#1*#[#1][44]] 
#1=#1=1
END1
M99

I' am looking for a solution to punch the variables as a file and not through RS-232 DPRINT. Sorry that I was not specific.

My requirement is wanting to punch out the variables as a file into the computer Or into the CF Card or into the Dataserver (this is anyways based on what channel is being used for I/O)
